Fohs Hall in Marion, Kentucky was built in 1926. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

It was built to serve as a community center for Marion and was a donation of Ferdinand Julius Fohs, a notable petroleum geologist who grew up in Marion. It was designed by architects Frankel and Curtis of Lexington, Kentucky, and was built at cost of $73,081, on the site of the small house where Fohs had lived. It was donated by Fohs to the Marion Board of Education to serve as a community center and as an auxiliary building for Marion High School, which was located across the street. The building included a music room, a lounge, a study hall, a small library, classrooms, and an auditorium.

It is a two-story brick building on a limestone foundation. It has a recessed center bay in its front, north-facing facade, topped by a stone pediment supported by four Corinthian columns.
