History of the Hall
In 1893, eighteen Seabold families petitioned the county to establish a school. John Johnson donated the land that summer, and $700 in bonds were issued for the building by Seabold District No. 28’s first directors — William Bull, Nels Miller, and N.P. Nelson. William Beedy, the first teacher, was hired for $35 a month. The school became the focus of all social life, including funerals, bazaars, church, and Sunday school, until Seabold Church was built in 1909. The school closed in 1928 after island school districts consolidated. The Seabold Community Club then purchased it. For many years, Seabold Hall served the club’s needs and was used by many in the community for private functions. (Text courtesy of the Bainbridge Island Historical Society)
In March 2011, the remaining members of the Seabold Community Club turned ownership of the hall over to the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District. The Park District plans to uphold the use of the hall for all of Bainbridge Island while providing for its maintenance and needed repairs.
