The two-story frame building located at 412 Orange Street is used by the Tabor Historical Society as a meeting room, archive, and museum. The building was constructed in 1875 and used for Tabor College’s music program. Originally located directly south of Tabor College’s Boarding Hall east of the town park on Center Street, the school sold the building to the town after construction of Adams Hall, in 1902, which was the new home of the school’s music conservatory. Tabor purchased the old building for $200 in December of 1907 and moved it to its current location for use as city hall and fire department, replacing a rundown building on the same site. At the time, the Tabor Beacon reported that once repairs were made to the structure, “Tabor will have a very respectable city hall.” The old building served faithfully for years as the center of town government which included, in 1914, the addition of two jail cells attached to the back of the building.
