Built in 1898, the Midway Social Hall was constructed of a local material known as pot rock, a porous limestone formed by hot pots, or hot springs. The simple rectangular building is architecturally significant for its use of this locally popular nineteenth-century construction material and for Classical features including a symmetrical principal facade and pedimented lintels. It shares a wall with a building to its east built about 1905 that was originally known as Hair's Barber Shop and Ice Cream Parlor, and between about 1910 and 1940 a window in the shared wall was opened during functions so patrons could be served ice cream and sodas. The hall was historically significant as a community meeting place and center for cultural performances, and as one of the few known remaining social halls constructed by Mormon communities during the second half of the nineteenth century. From its construction until the building of the Midway Town Hall in 1940, it served as the primary meeting place for local activities and celebrations and for religious and town meetings.
