Bringing the Past Back to Life

Originally built in 1855, Germantown’s Town Hall once acted as a central hub of municipal services for the community. Today, the building sits vacant at 5928 Germantown Ave. and has been slowly deteriorating for the past twelve years. John and Nancy Churchville, founders of the Greater Germantown Business Association, hope to revitalize the building and once again bring life to this historic landmark. In April of 2010, Lasalle University journalism students, Claire Salmons and Tom Rossi, spoke to the Churchvilles about their vision.
