Old Town Hall is disappearing from it’s present location. built in 1914, the building served as a town hall and then later as the Public Works Department. When they out grew the space, the building sat empty for the last couple of years. Now the city needs the space to expand the current city hall. The City of Sequim offered it to the highest bidder and the building was purchased for $1001 last week. It will be moved to another location and be renovated with the hopes of attracting a tenant. I’ve also included a small thumnail of the building in it’s present location.

I would have paid $1002.. what a bargain. Thanks for the extra photo, it gives us a good perspective.
Very cool choice for today’s theme!

ow curiously American – “we’ll preserve the building – but somewhere else!” And, I suppose, why not?
Lovely building, so glad it will be preserved. I can imagine it is totally unsuited to modern needs!
ham: reminds me of those places in Europe (I’m thinking of Finland) where they move older buildings which are in danger of being lost and make a sort of theme park – not the sort with rides – of them. “Living museums”.
Why do they pull down something which looks to be something like an historic building ?
I much prefer older buildings to some of those that replace them.
Hmmm, here in Singapore, when they building has been designated as historic, it cannot be torn down, and must be preserved.
Praise be to the wonderful historic minded person who bought it with plans to restore it.
Yes, how come they want to move it? It looks so nice from your photo (I would have payed 1003$ to over bid John!!). Nice photo anyway, I love the red background. Good luck with your new town hall then.
That is a great price! Glad that it will be moved instead of torn down. With the red color it looks more like a farm building to me.
I echo what others have said, plus it’s a really great photo!
Interesting that they will preserve it somewhere else!
