Before the Park Street School…

Before the Park Street School was torn down in the 1960s, a number of city officials considered purchasing the old brick building for use as the municipal building. The plan called for Grove City to sell its current city hall on Park Street as commercial property (That property today is where the Police Department is located.) The idea behind the plan was that Grove City had the potential to become a commercial, financial and educational center for Southwest Franklin County, according to as survey by the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce.
