I'm so glad this building has been preserved. It was still the City Hall when I was a kid (mid 1900s). I remember that I toured it when I was a kid. The one thing I remember is that it had the city jail. When the new City-County Building was built, the Historical Society was able to move from the far west side of town to this more centrally located building. And they retained the historic 1897 county courthouse after the new building was built.
Keven Childers posted several images that include these postcard images.

| Silva Lining Photography posted HISTORY Ignacio Silva shared Larry Dumbrowski When it was the police station I had to take my car there to have it inspected due to having too loud of mufflers. Victor Fitch My dad took me there and had the Sgt put me in a cell. "Just so you know that if you get in trouble... this is where you will end up!" So far so good. lol Bill Didier Where is the jail now?? Waneta Kiefer Bill Didier city jail is in the Rousseau Ctr, which runs the block between Clinton and Calhoun, across from the Court House, used to be a couple of bars and union halls. County jail is at the corner of Superior and Calhoun, across from where the old Trolley Bar was, to the north, grandma called that area tent city! |

Tommy Lee Fitzwater posted Dennis Boyd Microwave tower in the background? Thomas Cain Dennis Boyd this is Barr Street, looking north from Washington. What was News Sentinel building on left (now Unired Way), before 1st Wayne Church built, and after 1910s Market Buildings demolished. Tower in back is GTE, prior to their 1970s renovation. The white box building at rear left is Wolf and Dessauer, where the were moving to about the time of the fire. That's now Citizens Square. Jack C. Shutt Dennis Boyd Yes. That is the old GTE microwave tower, before the "lighthouse tower" was built on top of the building. John Hume The newest vehicle I see in the photo is a '59 Chevy on the far right. Can't tell what year the Ford Falcon is parked two spaces in front of the Chevy. Marc Servos I admit I didn't notice the Falcon at first, thanks. Obviously from the 1960-63 model year range, which I assume '60 models being on market in late 1959. But we don't see the front to help pinpoint the model year. |
