Hose Tower Construction Enters Major New Phase
Project to save historic structure moves forward.
The Greendale Historical Society is entering a major new phase of construction on the historic Hose Tower building. 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 will resume in June.
Earlier this year, the Greendale Historical Society began the interior phase of renovation by gutting the interior of the building.
“Substantial completion of the building is planned for Village Days in August 2013, to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Greendale,” said Historical Society President Ted Mainella. “I can think of no better way to celebrate that important milestone than to readapt this important building and convert it to community use.”
In 2013, the Village of Greendale’s historic district including the Hose Tower was designated as a National Historic Landmark.
