Posted September 3, 200618 yr Constructed in 1892 as a memorial to the Grand Army of the Republic, it was once the town's library and city hall. It was abandoned in 1996. Today, the structure is collapsing in some areas while remaining in near immaculate condition in others. Shelves full of historical documents lay moldy and in a deteorated condition on the second floor, holding so much weight the floor is actually starting to sink in. Time is running out to save this building, sadly. With the city hurting in the pocketbook due to a massive loss of industry, I'm fairly certain this building will not be saved. Here is the main link that has history and all-around photo goodness. 20 photos are in this update! 1. Dark corridors 2. Cramped quarters A small jail once served the city. 3. Freshen up? 4. 5. 6. Enjoy!
