Project Details

Blueprint planMadison City Hall repair plans
The City of Madison received funding for an assessment of their City Hall and Opera House, constructed in 1903. The building, which sits on the National Register of Historic Places, was initially constructed as a performance hall, but now functions as the city’s main municipal building. However, over time, the exterior of the building fell into disrepair, including the doors, windows, and facade. These will be refurbished in a historically sensitive manner, bringing the building up to date while preserving its historic character. The city of Madison takes great pride in its city hall and hopes that these improvements will allow the building to serve as a pillar of their community for another century at least.
