The Marianville Town Hall is where all of the local government activities are held.  This cut stone building was erected in 1887 as a monument to the founding fathers of the town.  The Mayor's Office is centered on the second floor, there is a court room on the first, and a few jail cells in the basement.  The twin lions guard the main entrance and the four towering columns are a testament to the strength of the local government.  It is a proud time for Marianville.

Mold # 1908  -  Marianville Town Hall  - Dimensions: 7 x 6 x 7"  -  MSRP:  $75.98
