Civic buildings: hall, station, post office, library

The town's civic architecture is four buildings, three of them datable from the record and one — the post office — standing on a personnel record alone. Town Hall, 105 S. Michigan Street — the address settled on the town's own site against the directory variance (the government file); remodelled and moved into in 2018 (the Story of Lakeville section record) — a remodelled building, not a purpose-built one, which is the small-town civic form. The fire station — its building event in the record is money: a $500,000 OCRA grant (the donations article, classed there as public money), the station the township's one grant-built civic plant of the modern record. The library branch — the St. Joseph County Public Library's Lakeville Branch, 120 N. Michigan Street, opened December 1990 (the folklore file) — the county's civic architecture seated in the town, and the archive's home. The post office — the residue, printed as such: the build's postal record is a postmaster line (the postmasters file), officers without a building; the office's building course — its sites, its present plant — stands unreached in every carrier, settler the Postal Service's building record and the town directories.
