Then & Now: Warminster Township Building

The government building does not look too different compared to a photograph taken in 1970.

This week's installment of Warminster Then & Now features the Warminster Township Administration building, located at the corner of Henry and Gibson.

The older photograph was again contributed by reader Ann Born, a member of the "I Grew Up in Warminster" Facebook group. At first glance, there does not appear to be many differences between the phot taken in 1970 and today.

Clearly, there is a bit more landscaping around the building, but the structure looks similar. 

If you enjoy this feature and have any vintage photos of Warminster, you can either post them here, or e-mail them to James.Boyle@patch.com.

The library was definite in this building for awhile until the norristown rd one was build next to log college. the JP (district judge) used to be in the building until they had to separate them from the police station. I don't know about a morgue.

I used to LOVE going to the library when it was in the basement of the township building. I still remember the paper library cards with the metal plate attached to them. Fond memories!

I know the police department occupied the upstairs but had no recollection of the district judge being there with them. Thanks for the scoop, Ann. Our phone number was only 1 digit different from the district judge's office; we got MANY, MANY of their phone calls... some were pretty funny!
