FOND DU LAC - For decades one of the city s historic landmarks has struggled with the wear and tear of time.
Galloway House and Village sits on 15 acres of what was once a farmstead on the south edge of Fond du Lac, owned by banker and lumberman Edwin H. Galloway. In the late 1860s he developed Melrose Farms there, which later became famous for its brown Swiss cattle.
He also transformed the farmhouse into an Italianate villa and a showcase of lavish Victorian elegance and beauty.
In 1954, Edwin P. Galloway, grandson of the former owner, donated the house and surrounding land to the Fond du Lac County Historical Society as an ideal spot for a museum.
Recount Faces Week Off
The most visible piece of the audit the livestreamed hand recount of all 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots for president and U.S. Senate - is moving at a glacial pace.
At the end of this week, the recount will come to a temporary halt.
The Senate’s contract to use Veterans Memorial Coliseum for its hand count ends on Friday. The audit will have to clear out of the coliseum that day to make room for a week’s worth of Phoenix high school graduations.
As of Monday, a new contract between the Senate and the Arizona State Fair, the coliseum’s operator, had not been signed.
The audit site at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on April 22, 2021.
After a day off, the Arizona Senate’s audit of Maricopa County ballots resumed May 3 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the state fairgrounds.
Workers have two weeks to get through the more than 2 million ballots before their lease runs out, although the Senate’s liaison now says the count could go beyond May 14.
To talk about what to expect in the coming days at the Legislature, The Show spoke with Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services.
