The John J. Morrill Store is a historic store and Grange hall on Belknap Mountain Road in the central village of Gilford, New Hampshire. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame clapboarded structure with a gable roof. It is predominantly Greek Revival in style, with pilastered corner boards, with entablatures and friezes above. It was built as a general store in the late 1850s by John Morrill, and served for many years as the local post office. It was purchased by the local Grange organization in 1909, at which time a series of interior alterations was made to facilitate its use by that group.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
