The Leipsic Village Hall was a historic village and township hall in the village of Leipsic in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Built in 1904,[1] the village hall was a large three-story brick building with a corner tower.[2] For a community as small as Leipsic (population 2,236 at the 2000 census[3]), it was a very elaborate building: the tower was crowned with battlements, and corbelling was used to support a significant portion of the roofline. At one time, the building served a wide range of municipal purposes: besides meeting rooms for elected village and township leaders, it contained space for a jail, the fire station, a community center, municipal offices, a library, and the mayor's courtroom.[4]

In 1979, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Leipsic City Hall,"[1] even though Ohio law provides that communities with fewer than five thousand residents are villages.[5] Designation as a historic site on the federal level does not affect the rights of property owners, including their right to demolish the property;[6] therefore, the village of Leipsic has been able to destroy the building.[2] Although the site of the village hall is now occupied by a parking lot,[7] the building remains listed on the National Register.[1]
