This spring, Windham’s Town Hall will expand into the Aikins annex at one end of the building, completed in 1910 and where town management has done business since the early 1980s. Historically, Windham’s town leaders met annually in a variety of places including schools, churches and a fort, where they planned all the business for the coming year. In 1833, thirteen years after Maine became a state, they decided to build a “town house.” This was where they met for the next 100 years. For 27 of those years, the building was also used for a school including high school. In 1983, the last of the municipal offices, Community Development, moved out, and Windham Historical Society moved in. The picture shown here was taken almost 100 years ago, and the old town house looks pretty much the same today.
