History
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
1100 Logan Avenue
Tyrone’s first public (government) building was erected in 1857. A brick, two-story building was later erected on 10th Street. The Citizens Fire Co. used the first floor, and the Borough Council occupied the second.
In 1916, Tyrone Borough constructed the present building at 1100 Logan Avenue for its headquarters. The builder was J. Van Hildebrand, and the cost was $24,640. The architect was W. F. Wise. When the building was dedicated, all businesses closed at noon so that the people could attend the ceremony.
The Municipal Building stands on the former location of the National Hotel (1870s), the Constitutional Amendment Hotel (1880s), and former private homes.
