Old Town Hall and Lock-Up OHS #298
DetailsOn the original plan this block was designed as "The Market Square." After incorporation, the Town purchased the land in 1859 and first erected a brick structure in to act as a "lock-up" or jail. In 1862/3, a larger, plainly-styled frame and brick building was erected with Council chambers on the second floor. The Town Hall was destroyed by fire in 1911. It was situated on the west side of Navy Street and north of present Bowling Greens.
