Every resident of Glendale is familiar with the Village Office Building in historic Village Square. Every visitor to Village Square notices the unique architecture of the office building, but what neither resident, nor visitor might realize is that the Village Office Building was once a stable.
From 1992 to 1998 the village restored the old stable, on the same spot, using original brick. Several of the original walls are still intact.
The building is 1870's era, was purchased by Glendale in July of 1927 and then used as a fire house and service department. Years later the building became the Village Offices, and in 1988 when Walter Cordes became Village Administrator, he launched the idea of restoring the building to its original appearance. The old "livery" is now used exclusively as a municipal building with gratis offices for the US Post Office, GYS and the Chamber of Commerce.
