Regarding Howard Lake City Hall. National Register of Historic Places #79001269.
from the National Register nomination:
The most dominant feature of the building is a three-story corner tower. The principal doors and windows on the first floor of the building are highlighted with semi-circular molded brick hoods. The second story windows are rectangular in shape with decorative brick banding over the windows. Decorative brick banding appears both along the string course dividing the two stories of the building and within each of the panels located on the second story of the tower. The Howard Lake Village Hall is an example of the architectural style frequently used at the turn of the century in community government architecture. The village hall continues to serve both as a visual landmark in the community and as library, community liquor store-lounge, and meeting hall.
