Heavy Lifting at The Hose Tower

Volunteer workers began the construction of new walls for public restrooms inside the The Hose Tower this weekend as the Greendale Historical Society continues to work to restore and re-purpose the historic building as a community gathering for the citizens and families of Greendale.  

Skilled trademen and community volunteers, John Flejter and Paul Moscisker got some help from Historical Society board member Bob DeRoche as they began building the restroom walls. They worked hard to get this important construction phase moving and the restroom walls should be completed this week. 

Meanwhile, “Iron Man” George Medrek has nearly completed repairs to the interior ceiling. 

In 2013, the Village of Greendale’s historic district including the old Police and Fire Station and The Hose Tower were formally 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.
