News Page 2 - October 1, 2002 City Hall Newest Historical Site CONNIE IRLAND Staff Writer City Hall was dedicated as a state historic site on August 22, 2002. City Hall's dedication as a historic building first required proof of its significance. City Hall's most significant feature is its architectural style, followed by its location, and the fact that it is City Hall, according to Marie Nadeau, member of the Historic District Preservation Committee. The Committee's purpose is to remember the unique heritage of Alpena, by preserving historically significant places and hoping to preserve an entire historic district. Nadeau said that the Bureau ofHistory for the state had the last word as to whether City Hall was declared a historical site or not. First the Historical Committee had to do a lot of research, such as who built City Hall, what style it was built in, its significance to the community, and it's location. Nadeau went on to say that the fact that City Hall was built in the Georgian Revival Style and made of Indiana limestone was not only key in having it declared a state historical site. It has also opened the possibility of having it declared a national landmark. City Hall 1s important for its Government Square location across the street from the former site of the first home in Alpena. It rests on the former site of Fletcher House and has a cannon, from the late naval ship, the U.S.S. Maine on its grounds. These artifacts add to its historical significance as well. After the Historical Committee researched all this information, they had to then submit it to the Bureau of History along with documentation such as old newspaper articles and other verifiable information. The Bureau then verified this information before deciding whether or not to declare City Hall a historical site. City Hall is the most recently acknowledged site in an area rich in local history. Other sites you may want to see include Alpena County Courthouse, Alpena Flour Mills, and Second Avenue Bridge.
