The United Sons and Daughters of Charity Lodge Hall in Bolivar, Tennessee was built in c.1928 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]

It is an "unassuming" wood frame building on brick piers, with a hipped roof. The building was used for religious worship services and for other community purposes.[2]

It is a surviving artifact of the United Sons and Daughters of Charity, a local self-help and benevolent organization formed in 1873 by a group of African American men in Bolivar.[2]
