IiisiorkaI So cietyaieet in Ptsky Toy,q. Hall
Paisley Town Hall was the
meeting place for the regular
monthly meeting of the
Bruce:County Historical Soc-
iety executive in August. The
members were given a tour
of the hall which has been
renovated in recent "ears.
The original character of
the building' has been care-
fully preserved so that its
windews, doors, staircase,
wainscoting, even the prison
cells in the basement which
are no longer used, have all
been preserved. The differ-
ence today is that everything
has been given a fresh coat of
- paint, the walls have been
insulated, repairs made
wherever necessary, and fac-
ilities such as heating and
,lighting brought up to date.
The stage in the auditorium
• upstairs, which has excellent
acoustics, has been enlarg2
ed, and a modern, small
kitchen installed off a meet-
ing room downstairs. The
door knobs and other brass
pieces throughout the build -
Ing catch your eye-Virith their
brightne:ss, ' and the light
fixtures '°blend in with the
• style tit tfic rirchitecutre, The
.4`old Town, Hall" is a credit
to the town of Paisley, and
another good example of
• what can be done to preserve
• a building of an older era.
• The Historical Society
president, 'William A. Col-
lins, conducted the meeting
which followed the tour of
the building. Three visitors
•were present. Dr. John Nes-
bitt, a member of the Soci-
ety, a teacher at the -Univer-
sity of Iowa in Iowa City, was
present, and thanked the
Society for the help he has
received in tracing his Nes-
bitt and Jackson ancestry in
' Bruce. He Said he is fascin-
ated by., the architectural
• style of the houses in Bruce
and admires them.
Two other visitors were
also present, Miss Kelly and
• Rick Dales from Greenock
Township. They are involved
•in compiling a history •of
Greenock and asked for sug-
gestions regarding where to
• search for more information.
