Council House To Be Torn Down

Since I made the post in the post a couple of weeks ago about the Council House being set ablaze I thought this would be fitting today instead of a fire. Later in the future I will post a detailed history of the Council House.

On March 5, 1928 Shippensburg Borough Council met for the last time in the Council House. Bids were received and awarded for the erection of a new Municipal Building. The sale and removal of the Council House was awarded to Herbert Thrush for $135.00. The Council House was home to the Vigilant Hose Company and one time the Keystone Hook and Ladder Company.
