Formally known as The Woodbine Town Hall, this ol' girl has been the matriarch, for scores of memories & business had! The interior displays original Ceiling Tin design, Hardwood flooring, full Kitchen, Ticket Booth/Window, Opera Stage, complete with ornate drop curtain and original piano; (which stay with purchase of this building). Woodbine Town Hall has been used for stage plays, elections, town meetings, World War II Red Cross Volunteers, school, church, band concerts, Tom Thumb Weddings, community socials, birthday parties, Home Extension meetings, 4-H meetings, dances, family reunions . . . Even basketball practice (hoops yet remain), oh, if the walls could talk! So many opportunities, for new owner(s) & their endeavors; rehab this ol' girl into theatre stage plays once again, overnight stays (near proximity to Apple Canyon & Golf Courses), get-togethers, small weddings/receptions, barn dances, turn it into living quarters, etc; 'possibilities are endless! She's not new, (so please, no FHA, USDA, or VA loan offers), yet she's been well maintained; this is your opportunity to own a solid piece of Woodbine history! View more info & photos, from yesteryear, regarding Woodbine History (notes written in 1987 by Kay Dittmar Willson) in Docs, provided here-in. Building & Appliances sold As-Is.
