Special care must be taken in preserving and maintaining the building.
Located at 127 Beech St., Cadillac, construction on the neoclassical / classical revival building was completed in 1906. Originally a library, the museum was briefly home to the cityâs police department before opening as a museum in 1978. It has received local, state and national recognition as a historic site.
The local designation as a historic site means that the cityâs Historic District Commission has to sign off on exterior changes; the commission did just that in April when the Historical Society approached the commission about plans to restore the windows in the museum and add storm windows.
