The Union League of America Hall is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. It was added to the Register on August 20, 1998.[1]

In 1998 it was the First Presbyterian Church. It has also been known as Diamond Lodge No. 5 of the Independent Order of Good Templars and as The First Church of White Sulphur Springs.[2]

It was built in 1867 by a Union League and is a 24 by 74 feet (7.3 m × 22.6 m) building, on a concrete basement made in 1935. It is "simple in form and with minimal adornment"; it "is a vernacular version of the Greek Revival Style. The front-gabled form, pedimented door and windows, and six-over-six sash provide links to the style. Additionally, the raised elevation of the front imparts a subtle sense of monumentality to the building."[2]
