By 5:00 pm it was all
down. The Fire Department building is
seen in the background
where the Town Office
will reside until the new building is finished.
Porter Town Hall was originally built in 1919
for Porter High School - the last class graduated in 1967 when the Sacopee
Valley High School was built. It was
converted to a grammar school for several years and has served as the Porter
Municipal Building since 1986. It was
determined that it was not feasible to renovate it to meet today’s building
codes and needs. The town voted to take
it down and rebuild at a special town meeting last year.
