This wonderful building is the Danby Town Hall. Danby is a small town about six miles south of Ithaca, NY, located on Route 96. I have driven through this town hundreds of times since 1966. And I have stopped to photograph the building several times over the years. When we came by the other day it was overcast and raining, and the light was soft and perfect for seeing all the architectural details of the building. The marble monument in front of the building is for soldiers who died in the Civil War! Danby was first settled around 1797, and the town was formed in 1811. I have not been able to find out when the town hall was built, however.
