When Sunbury was platted in 1816, a town square was set aside for public use with the intention of constructing a town hall on the site. The first two stories were built as a school in 1868 for $5,000. The Masons added the third story for $1,500 and occupied it for 91 years until a lodge was constructed. Since 1868, the Town Hall has served Sunbury as a village office building, jail, fire station and community library. Church services, as well as Farmer's Institutes, were held in the building, and at one time, it housed a bank. In 2002, the Town Hall was renovated for use as a community room and village offices.
Sunbury was an Ohio stagecoach town from 1820 – 1873.
From its beginning in 1816, Sunbury was destined to be a stagecoach town. Anticipating large numbers of stagecoach travelers, the town's founder, Lawrence Myers, built an inn at the intersection of two major stagecoach routes (the old Walhonding Trail and the Delaware Newark Pike). In 1820, the first stagecoach arrived in Sunbury from Mt. Vernon. Famous stagecoach travelers who stopped in Sunbury included William Henry Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes, Henry Clay and Johnny Appleseed. Railway travel became more prevalent, and consequently, the last stagecoach rolled out of Sunbury in 1873.
This building was placed on the US National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1975.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimont,_Minnesota
Trimont is a small community nestled in south central Minnesota. Trimont was once two different towns, platted by competing railroads. The two towns were Triumph, to the east, and Monterey to the west. These towns joined, using the first letters in each town's name, to form what is today known as Trimont. This gives Trimont the unique characteristic of two separate Main Street business districts which are on the same street, yet placed about a half-mile apart.

A discretionary grant from NYC Council Member Fernando Cabrera allowed us to return to IS 117 for a second School Murals project, this time with a twist. We would leverage the project as a mechanism to invite collaboration between both schools that share the building: IS 117 Joseph Wade Academy and The Young Women’s Leadership School.
Students from both schools worked together to imagine a shared vision for their Mount Hope neighborhood, and brought that vision to life at the main entrance of the building. The last thing students see as they return home each day is the world they are building together.
Community Building is a historic town hall located at Ticonderoga in Essex County, New York. It was built in 1927 and is a large two story, five bay neo-Georgian style ashlar granite building with a central bowed portico. The portico has four Ionic order columns and two engaged pilasters. It has a slate hipped roof anchored by a central octagonal cupola.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Neighbors in East Tremont section of the Bronx have something great to brag about: the I Am East Tremont school mural at PS 58x.
The mural highlights the diversity of the neighborhood, the various activities the students enjoy doing in school, and noteworthy people in the community such as the Coquito Lady and firefighters.
If you find yourself on Washington St. and East Tremont, don’t forget to stop by and admire the mural.
For extra credit: can you identify Mrs. Gunn the principal?

This is about the only solid building besides the old church left in the community of Elba Ohio. Originally it may have been the town hall.. Elba's constant misfortune with flooding has left few people or habitable buildings there. Notice the spiral fire escape. I wanted to see about getting an inside shot, but with my daughter's dog waiting in the truck and an old fellow just down the road keeping an eye on me, I quickly took these shots from the driver's seat of my pickup. I'll go back sometime soon.
