City looks at cost of fixing octagon building

City Manager Grady Hartzog Sr. was instructed by the Chiefland City Commission at its Dec. 10 meeting to look at the cost of improving the city's octagon-shaped building.

On Oct. 22, the City Commission sought suggestions for how to use the building, which currently sits just north of the fire station. There had been some discussion about moving the building, but as of Dec. 10 the commission wants to leave it where it exists now.

At the Nov. 13 meeting, Friends of Luther Callaway Public Library Treasurer Grace Andersen said this group wants to use the building for selling books to help the library. The Friends would share the building with any civic group that wanted to meet there, she said.

Historically, the building has been used as the Chiefland City Library, Town Hall and the meeting place for the Chiefland Woman's Club. It was once the police department.

It was built in the 1920s, according to a 1982 story in the Chiefland Citizen.

The very first Rural Electric Agency meeting in Chiefland was held in that building, according to that story.
