It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] HistoryThe city of Ironwood had plans to build a new municipal building since at least 1917.[2] The building was intended to be a Memorial Building, housing municipal offices and serving as a memorial to veterans.[4] In 1919, the city authorized the issuance of $400,000 in bonds to procure land for and construct the building.[2] Ironwood's American Legion Post and the Ironwood Women's Club helped sell the bonds and raise a total of more than $500,000 to fund the building. It was designed by the Minneapolis firm of Bell & Kinports.[3] The cornerstone of the building was laid in November 1922 in a ceremony honoring veterans of World War I.[4] The building was completed in August 1923[2] It was used for municipal business, as well as social and recreational uses, such as banquets, plays, basketball games, and education.[2] The Ironwood Memorial Building was remodeled in 1996.[4] The building continues to serve as Ironwood's City Hall.[3] DescriptionThe Memorial Building is a two-story Neoclassical structure built of concrete in a pentagonal shape.[3] The first floor is raised, providing light to the basement level. The two front facades are faced in grey terra cotta and coursed stone, while the remaining elevations are faced with brick. The heavy bronze door entrances are approached with wide granite steps and are flanked by Ionic columns. Above each entrance, clocks are inset into the terra cotta. A balustrade runs around the roof edge. Multipaned windows separated by pilasters and topped with arches run around the first floor, and rectangular windows with architrave trim are used on the second.[3] Inside the building are municipal offices (including a court room and council chambers), community facilities, a 1,500-seat auditorium,[4] a pool and gymnasium. The building houses 47 stained glass windows (including a number depicting the Battle of Argonne),[5] a statue of World War I doughboy, and bronze tablets listing area men who served during the Civil War, Spanish–American War, and World War I.[4] A mural by artist Carl Frezell depicting local iron mines[4] was funded by the Works Progress Administration.[3] The Ironwood Women's Club has a private clubroom in the building.[5] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ironwood Memorial Municipal Building}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news | title = Memorial Building Celebrating 75th Anniversary | author = Ron Trethewey | newspaper = Ironwood Daily Globe| date = August 20, 1998 | url = http://www.newspaperarchive.com/SiteMap/FreePdfPreview.aspx?img=108256927}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url= http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/5468.htm|title= Memorial Building|publisher= Michigan State Housing Development Authority: Historic Sites Online|accessdate= December 22, 2011|deadurl= yes|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20120612201748/http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/5468.htm|archivedate= June 12, 2012|df= }} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web | title = Ironwood’s Living Memorial | publisher = Superior Chronicle | url = http://www.superiorchronicle.com/attractions/memorial_building/memorial_building.html | accessdate = December 27, 2011}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|duplicate_url=|title=Ironwood Memorial Building|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=Hunt's Guide to the UP|archive-url=https://archive.is/20130126180924/http://hunts-upguide.com/ironwood_ironwood_memorial_building.html%23.UQQbwn3LdRw|archive-date=January 26, 2013|url=http://hunts-upguide.com/ironwood_ironwood_memorial_building.html|accessdate=December 30, 2011|deadurl=yes|df=}} 5 : Government buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Michigan|Neoclassical architecture in Michigan|Government buildings completed in 1923|Buildings and structures in Gogebic County, Michigan|National Register of Historic Places in Gogebic County, Michigan |
