Summary
The Belle Prairie Township Hall (1911) and Strang Town Hall/Jail (1907) are good examples of political and governmental structures of their type built in the early 1900s in Nebraska. The historical purpose of these two buildings was to fulfill the needs of the township and town's governing body. The elected officials and citizens of the community met in these halls to discuss and determine what governmental policies were needed, how the finances would be obtained, and what regulations were necessary.
