旧生浜町役場庁舎　The Former Town Hall of Oihama

English

The town of Oihama was originally located in the area which is the present-day Chuo Ward and Midori Ward. In 1889 (Meiji Year 22), the five villages of Kita-Oyumi, Minami-Oyumi, Hamano, Murata and Ariyoshi amalgamated to form Oyumi-Hamano Village, which was later renamed Oihama Village in 1925 (Taishō Year 14). In 1928 (Showa Year 3), the implementation of the town organization system bought about the establishment of Oihama Town.
On the occasion of the establishment of the Oihama Town in 1932 (Showa Year 7), the former town hall of Oihama was built. In 1955 (Showa Year 30), Oihama Town became part of Chiba City, but the former town hall building was used as the branch office and Civic Centre for Oihama up until 1992 (Heisei Year 4), and has served as a familiar place for the local people for quite some time.
The wooden building has two floors and a French tiled roof. It is actually one of the few Western-style buildings left in the city originating from the early Showa Period. The office of the town hall was located on the first floor, with the assembly hall on the second floor. The balcony above the porch at the entrance is the building’s most prominent feature, which was a typical architectural feature of town halls constructed during the early Meiji Period up until the Taishō Period.
