One final visit to the former Beaverdam town hall
James Crawfis of Beaverdam took one last visit to the former Beaverdam town hall three days prior to it being razed.
Here's what he told The Icon about the visit:
"These are some of the pictures I took (and one old one from the 1920s sometime). The picture with the stairs is from the opening of the very front door. My Dad (Gary) said the last time he was upstairs in the town hall was a good 40 years ago.
"While my parents were visiting a friends church in Commerce Township, Michigan, the pastor had asked where my parents lived and they told him Beaverdam, Ohio. I guess he had to kind of smile and said he had been stuck in Beaverdam once during a winter storm and actually slept on the second floor of the town hall with a number of other stranded travelers."
For Crawfis, the building was always the place he stood in front of waiting for the bus to go to school.
The Icon invites other viewers to tell their Beaverdam town hall stories.
