Shown here is Charles W. Bobb, who served six consecutive terms as Mayor (then Chief Burgess) from January 1934 to December 1957, a period of 24 years. He was also a restauranteur, a storekeeper, provided quality room and board and made the best darn ice cream I ever ate. My favorite was Grapenut!

(Who has served as Mayor for the second longest period of time? Answer next month.)

Mr. Moses Specht built the present Borough Building as the Beavertown Grade School in 1880. It is a solid fine structure even today.

It was remodeled in 1938 to include central heating and indoor plumbing.

It was remodeled a bit more to comply with the ADA in 2007.
