The Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) Hall, dedicated in 1888, was a major postwar social organization. The Edwin Humphrey Post of the G.A.R. was named after Edwin Humphrey, a Hingham man who died in Gettysburg in 1863. It was designed by 22 year-old architect Henry Merritt, the son of a Hingham blacksmith, in a neogothic style. In addition to being a meeting place for veterans, the hall served many functions. In 1912, before Loring Hall began showing movies, the G.A.R. showed silent films.
