Grand Mound Town Hall and Waterworks Historic District

Grand Mound Town Hall and Waterworks Historic District, also known as Hose house, pump house, is an historic district located in Grand Mound, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The district is composed of two buildings and the town's water tower.
==Town Hall==

The former town hall is a two-story frame structure with a gable front. It was designed by Gustav Ahlff, who owned a local lumber yard, weigh station, and clay tile manufacturing company. It is a structure. The main facade is three bays wide. The first floor features a central garage door that is flanked by two windows. The second floor has three windows that match those on the first floor. The entrance to the upstairs is on the south side of the east elevation. The building is capped with a belfry with a bell. The original bell is now part of a monument located in front of the pump house. The interior of the building features a single room on each floor, and a stairway at the back of the building. It is thought that an area on the main floors southwest corner may have been the location of an early jail that consisted of a single cell.
The building lacks ornamentation because the town council did not think it was appropriate to build a monument to themselves or to the government with taxpayer dollars.〔 Henry Ehlers submitted the lowest bid of $675, which was accepted on July 2, 1892. After it was built the town hall was used by a variety social groups in addition to town government. A town marshal was hired in 1894 and the jail cell was created at that time and was used until 1936. Besides the jail cell, the first floor was used to house the town's fire-fighting equipment. The second floor was used as a council chambers until a new town hall was built in 1955. The old building became known as the "Pump House", although there is no evidence that it was ever used for that purpose.〔
