Additional help is sought in order for Bowmanstown Borough Hall to eventually be registered as a historic building.

Borough council said Tuesday that help is needed for the second draft for submittal for the National Register of Historic Places.

Council suggested the names of several people believed to have a heightened knowledge of the building who could be of assistance.

In September 2021, council applied for a grant to have its borough building listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Councilwoman Kara Scott said the listing on the national registry would allow the borough more access to grant money.

The borough hall building is a converted school building that was built in 1903.

Councilman Rob Moyer said at that time the borough hall building is lacking because it’s an older building.

Scott said she was concerned about the playgrounds and basketball courts, which she said get a lot of use.

“This building is almost iconic,” she said.
