room. In the 1980s, the city had contractors divide the room, using the posts to define two separate rooms, yet the posts remain visible in the drywall. A door connects the two rooms toward the west end. The north side of the front area is now the office of the clerk-treasurer. A small area to the west of the north room was further divided off to provide a bathroom and storage space. The south side room remains largely open and is used as the meeting room for the town council (photo 6). The wood floors throughout are now covered in carpeting, however, the pressed metal ceiling remains exposed in all but the marshal's office. Schoolhouse style lights are not original but are similar to those once used in the building. There are also contemporary ceiling fans in each room. In the meeting room, an original arched vertical car-sided door remains on back wall. It led to a hallway of the caretaker's quarters. The marshal's office occupies most of the former caretaker's office now. Though ceilings were lowered with a suspended tile system in the marshal's office, the original Murphy bed from the building's caretaker days remains in place.

Originally, the interior was divided into two functions: a front sales office room consisting of one open space, and a rear section with living quarters for a salesman / caretaker. The two front doors led one into the sales room. There was a line of load bearing posts running down the center of the
