Bellevue’s original town hall is located on Highway 75 which is Bellevue’s Main Street.  The fire hall, the front and larger portion of the building, was erected in 1890 for a cost of $240 and housed Bellevue’s original fire equipment, a hose and hose cart which was pulled by human hand.  The bell on the tower rang to announce a fire, a common occurrence in an era of candles, wood-burning stoves, tired miners and saloon brawlers.  The smaller back portion of the building was added as a city hall.  The jail behind the Hall was built in 1881 of heavy squared timbers, still stands on the same lot.
