Community Center

The city had never owned a fire department building until this structure was built. In 1905, the City Council approved the issuance of bonds to purchase the land and construct a new Central Fire Station. The original structure included a three-story hose drying and watch tower that stood above the northeast corner. Upon completion of the current Public Safety building in the 1970s, the old station underwent an adaptive re-use as a community center.

The building now houses offices for the city Handivan transportation service.

The building also has two areas available for use by groups, organizations and individuals for meetings, family get-togethers, banquets, wedding receptions, etc. A conference room that seats up to 25 or a banquet area that seats up to 140.
