I have mixed feelings about our town’s City Hall. On the surface, I should love it. Built in the 1950s, it has a great mid-century modern vibe. It has a lovely archway in front, and fantastic windows. But I have seen pictures of the old City Hall, and it was an amazing, old, imposing, building, and I have some sorrow that it was torn down and replaced with something much less stately. But it is what it is, and like I said, I do appreciate the mid-century design of the current building.

A real treat can be found inside the building…the familiar outline of the town fountain, against a background of beautiful mid-century tile work!

Sometimes I wish I could see our downtown the way it was, with the old grand City Hall adjacent to the equally grand old county courthouse building on the town square, but I do appreciate the design of this building as it is now (even though I will always think the “new” county building is an eyesore!).
