Sugar Grove, IL, Center School, and Town Hall/Town House: 1848
The Sugar Grove Center School was built in the fall of 1848. It was a two story building on the east side of Main Street about where the street now ends near the present Route 30. The first floor was school rooms and the second floor was a large meeting room known as the Town Hall or Town House. History records that on the afternoon of November 10, 1873, the building burned to the ground as the result of some pranks by young boys. Source: "Sugar Grove, Illinois 1834-1984" by Ruth Frantz and Frank Damon In January 1875, a special town meeting was called to decide where to build a new Town Hall. The Normal and Industrial School was built that year, and the new Town Hall was just north of it, where the Community House now stands. By the mid 1920s, the Town Hall was to small for many activities held there and it was in disrepair. It was sold and moved to 158 Maple Street and remodeled into a home.
