The Groveport Town Hall Historic Group is a group of historic buildings located in Groveport, Ohio. It includes the Groveport Town Hall, Faulhaber-Fornshell residence, and the Rarey-Giehl residence. Built in c. 1840 and 1878, the group was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 31, 1978.[1]

The first of the Historic Group buildings to be constructed was the Rarey-Giehl residence, sometime around 1840.[2] Groveport Town Hall was constructed in 1876, followed by the Faulhaber-Fornshell residence in 1878.[2][3] Groveport Town Hall is three stories high and incorporates High Victorian Italianate architecture.[2] Town Hall was constructed in a joint project between what was then the Village of Groveport, Madison Township, and two local lodges.[3] The land on which Town Hall currently sits was sold to the Village of Groveport in 1857 by William H. Rarey.[4]
