Interesting Historic Town Hall

There should be apps that tell you where to find public bathrooms, I commented to one of my sons...

There is an app for that, he replied...

(I don't have that useful app... but fortunately there is also Google...!)

On a recent trip to Almonte, a picturesque town near Ottawa, I discovered that there was a public bathroom - as well as a tourist information centre - at the town's former city hall, a historic building, next to the river path Terry and I often walk on.

The people who work there were very helpful, suggesting we take the elevator to the top floor to see the meeting room that is still used for events like weddings and concerts.

She commented that the wooden ceiling is also impressive...

She was right!

When we returned from exploring the upstairs...

... she showed us the former town jail - in the same building.

We picked up some brochures that gave us more ideas of things to see...

Such useful information!

Glad we stopped in ... to use the bathroom!
