Conklin Town Hall - Conklin, NY - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

(visit link)
"The town is known for the George F. Johnson community center on Conklin Road, which looks like a castle. Alpheus Corby, a Conklin resident, built "The Castle" in about 1900 after visiting his mother's homeland of England. Corby admired the country's architectural style.
After Corby died his home was sold to a few private homeowners. Years later George F. Johnson made "The Castle" a home for under privileged children.
In the 1940's Johnson donated "The Castle" to the Town of Conklin to be used as a community center. The building was used as an office building for Town officials until a new Town hall was built in 2002, and it is used now strictly for community groups to meet and is being turned into a museum by the Town's Historical Society.
