the town of cedarberg is known for many

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:13,160
things it's a great place to live in
raise a family there are many historical

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,080
sites and buildings including the last
covered bridge in the state of

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:24,359
Wisconsin among the historical buildings
is Turn Hall which is listed on the

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,359
national register of historic

6
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:33,559
places despite its rich and varied
history cedarberg Turn Hall had not been

7
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:36,960
actively used for years The cedarberg
Landmark preservation Society purchased

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,480
the
building there was a time where the turn

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,280
hle was a discrepant fallen down
building the roof was in the center of

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,719
the building the walls were crumbling
and we thought it be a good project for

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:54,120
us to undertake to reconstruct we raised
some money locally and got a small Grant

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,960
from the state of Wisconsin hisorical
Society to fund the necessary building

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:05,479
costs and materials and this is
completed about I'd say about 35 years

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:12,400
ago and at that time we then rented the
building to David Eline who used it as a

15
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,400
race museum for his antique race

16
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,960
cars there came a time about 3 or four
years ago where David Eline uh decided

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:24,000
to dispose of his vehicles and close the
museum and the building was vacant for a

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,600
period of time and we did a substantial
amount of research and effort to

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,399
determine whether we want to sell the
building or release the building at the

20
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:37,200
same time hanky and Associates a local
creative strategic marketing firm was in

21
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:41,479
search of a new office site with a more
open

22
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:47,240
concept the challenges in renovating the
Turn Hall were significant the building

23
00:01:44,119 --> 00:01:52,520
had no Plumbing no septic no electrical
of which to speak and had never been

24
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:58,159
used as office
space despite the obstacles hanky

25
00:01:55,399 --> 00:02:03,399
understood the value and the cool factor
of rehabing a national recognized

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:07,719
historical building the irony is that
the Craftsman and Heritage of a landmark

27
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,120
would come together with the latest
technological advancements town of

28
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,920
cedarberg officials worked well with the
hankes through the many steps necessary

29
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,599
to make this dream a reality town of
cedarberg and the hanky Associates uh

30
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,920
went through a Cooperative effort
actually uh we did some minor things

31
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:32,200
like uh allow parking in a park parking
lot which was across the street also

32
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:36,160
helped with the uh crosswalk across a
busy street and reduce the speed limit

33
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:41,239
but more importantly we worked as
partners to uh accomplish a goal the

34
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:46,080
town is very business friendly and we do
what we can and uh if uh changes need to

35
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,760
be made if things need to be
accomplished uh on a Cooperative nature

36
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:56,519
you that's what we're about we wanted a
place to build a place create a place an

37
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:01,720
atmosphere that was an open creative
collaborative uh area a place that could

38
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,400
really Foster ideas because great ideas
come from everywhere and

44
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,040
kept the building in essentially the
same condition as it was and yet made it

45
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:41,040
useful for a modern purpose we couldn't
have made it happen without many people
