Originally built in 1924, the historic Town of Highland Park DPS and Town Hall had undergone multiple small renovations, resulting in a convoluted campus and lack of connectivity between departments. Over the years, the Town added a fire station, auditorium, library and other elements, creating floors on different levels and an interior more reminiscent of the 1960s than the 1920s. In 2010, the town began a renovation project with the goal of recapturing the original Spanish colonial revival aesthetic, with minimal horizontal expansion to the building’s footprint.
