This is a building that looks like a firehouse with the large doors in front. There is a new firehouse just north of town so this building has probably been repurposed.

The building is white and very functional looking. There is a side door. There is a bulletin board and a sign listing the Town meetings.
"Cayuga County formed a portion of the Military Tract which included some of Locke. Military Tracts were portions of land purchased from Iroquois Indians used for grants to veterans of the Revolutionary War. Locke had 38 soldiers who received tracts.
Locke had 63 soldiers in the War of 1812."
"Locke had a fire on April 26, 1912 where 30 village buildings were destroyed. Another fire on April 10, 1975 destroyed 11 village buildings."
The Locke sign says it was established in 1802.
