The ZCBJ Hall in Haugen, Wisconsin, is a clapboard-sided frame building constructed between 1910 and 1915 in the Boom Town style. Originally serving as a meeting hall and opera house for the local Czech community, the structure was built in three stages by members of the Západní Česko Bratrská Jednota (Western Czech Fraternal Union). The 50-by-75-foot single-story building grew incrementally: the initial section was erected around 1913, doubled in size the following year, and expanded again in 1915 with the addition of a stage, partial basement, and a new roof unifying all three sections. The earliest portion rests on a wooden foundation, while the later addition features a concrete foundation. Now recognized as a significant example of period vernacular architecture, the hall is listed on both the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.
