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.

Q: There is a house on the corner of South Simons and Cass streets that has no windows. Is this house slated to be torn down?
A: In a recent article by Chris Lamphere, it stated the house, located at 223 Cass St., was purchased by Peterson Funeral Home in 2011.
CADILLAC â Demolition work recently began on an old home within Cadillacâs historic district.
The structure, located at 223 Cass St., was purchased by Peterson Funeral Home in 2011. According to Realtor.com, the three-story, four-bedroom home was built in 1891.
Funeral Director Megan Meyering-Brinks said the structure had a plethora of issues, including a number of critical structural deficiencies that would have been very costly to repair or upgrade.
Meyering-Brinks said they decided to raze the structure and pave the area to serve as an additional parking space for people who come to Peterson Funeral Home, particularly during funeral visitations and services.
