Elizabeth Hall is a historical building off Arkansas Highway 22 in New Blaine, Arkansas. It was built in 1867 as a Masonic meeting hall with funding and land donated by Masonic lodge members of Elizabeth Lodge 215 F & A M. The building is also known by that lodge's name. The lodge meets in the upper floor, while the ground floor has served as a school, a church, and a funeral chapel. The building has been described as "one of the finest remaining rural structures erected in nineteenth-century Arkansas". It was built "under the supervision of the New Blaine sheriff, E. N. Griffeth."[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The listing included one contributing site (the adjacent Elizabeth Cemetery) in addition to the contributing building.[1]
