History with a coffee Historic building in Sheffield to open soon

At Block 10 at 1921 City Hall, there is a sense of history, of a time gone by. For the past year and a half, the owners of the historic structure have been bringing that history back to life.

In 2015, Randy and Holly Coffee attended an auction that was being held for the purchase of the 1921 Memorial Hall.

“Walking around you could hear the stories of people,” Holly Coffee said. “[Hearing] how they could remember when they had played basketball, held dances and receptions.”

The Coffee’s could envision what the building could be and wanted to preserve its history. They decided on the spot to buy it.

 “We decided to purchase it,” Holly Coffee said. “The decision was spontaneous!”

Block 10 at 1921 City Hall is located at 309 Gilman, in the historic 1921 Memorial Hall in Sheffield.
