Welfare Department and Sheriff Move Into New Quarters
Two courthouse offices moved to enhanced spaces this weekend, the Welfare Department under Robert Longenecker relocating from the second floor to the former Troy Studio site by Star Clothing, while the Sheriff’s Office now occupies the Welfare area. The county board signed a 2.5 year lease for new Welfare quarters through Jan 1, 1956, with landlord Mrs. Frieda Greensweig. Chairman Hillis Wilson said the moves will aid both offices, noting moisture damage risk in the basement for the sheriff and overcrowding for Welfare. The Welfare dept will gain privacy for personal consultations and a conference area for Richard Thorsen, child welfare supervisor, with only a slight additional expense since half of costs are paid by the State of Iowa. The former sheriff quarters are available for use by the sheriff or other county services serving Eldora residents.
