In progress–renovations to Rouss City Hall, built in 1901. Located in Winchester’s historic district, this building has a lot of history and now more opportunity to show it off!
Aerial view of Rouss City Hall, nestled in the center of historic downtown Winchester.
A fun discovery: these historic stairs and column were previously encased in gypsum wallboard walls constructed in a 1986 renovation.
This was the old theater entrance. It’s becoming the future offices of the Winchester Department of Planning and Zoning.
The former theater ticket/coat room is being renovated into a conference room. Floating acoustic ceiling grids, pulled back from the walls, hide the electrical wiring and mechanical ducts, while leaving the historic windows fully intact and exposed.
