From the Modesto Bee: A 1917 building that once was a church and later City Hall has been painted sage green with rust-colored trim. After volunteers finish the walls and install carpet, they will move in mannequins and glass cases for displaying artifacts, from medals to a uniform worn by a Ripon resident in the Spanish-American War.

The city has plans to move its war memorial from outside the Police Department to the site at First Street and Locust Avenue. (visit link)
