A Look Back: The Building's Story
This building was constructed in 1947. It was designed to hold several important offices for the local government.
What is a Town Hall?
A town hall is like the "headquarters" for a local government. It's where leaders meet to make decisions for the community. People might go there to get permits or pay taxes. It's a central place for village business.
What Did the Water Department Do?
The Water Department's job was to manage the water supply for Allouez. This included making sure homes and businesses had clean, safe water. They would also handle things like water pipes and billing.
Becoming a Village
One very important event happened in this building: the incorporation of Allouez into a village. When a place incorporates, it officially becomes a village or town. This means it gets its own local government and can make its own rules. Before this, it might have been part of a larger area.
Moving On
The government offices stayed in this building for many years. However, in 1967, the village decided to move its offices to a different location. Even though the government moved out, the building remains an important part of Allouez's history.
