Title
Nederland's Fourth City Hall
Description
This one-story frame building served as Nederland's City Hall from 1958 until 1969. In 1957, the City purchased the former home of J. H. Peterson from the State Highway Department. The home originally located on Highway 347 was moved to 908 Boston Avenue. The City added offices and other improvements, and moved into the new building in January 1958. This photo was taken shortly after the the move and renovation. [Note: Information came from an articles in the Port Arthur News, July 9, 1972 and Midcounty Review, September 13, 1957 and February 13, 1958.]
