Interior construction to restore and re-purpose the historic Grounds Building and Hose Tower as a community gathering place complete with public restrooms for the citizens and families of Greendale is underway.
This week, workers created a doorway connecting the Hose Tower to the Grounds Building allowing for access to the Tower from inside the building.
In 2013, the Village of Greendale’s historic district including the Hose Tower was designated as a National Historic Landmark.
Substantial completion of the interior of the building is planned for Village Days in August 2013, to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Greendale.
