During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the urgent need for repairs and restoration of the historic 101 building, formerly known as the old Main Street building. A member of the council emphasized the building's significance to the community, describing it as a \"true monument to Winnsboro\" that has stood for generations.

The council member proposed a plan to repaint the building and replace rotting wood, arguing that neglecting these repairs could lead to further deterioration. \"The longer it sits there with nothing done, the worse it's going to get,\" they warned, advocating for a restoration that would return the building to its original charm.

Concerns were raised about the building's official historic designation, which is necessary for certain funding and preservation efforts. However, the council noted challenges in proving the building's age due to lost records from a previous fire at the county office. Despite these hurdles, there was a consensus on the importance of maintaining the building's integrity.

The discussion also touched on potential financial contributions from local events, such as the rodeo, to support the restoration efforts. The council agreed to seek estimates for the necessary repairs and to consider adding this initiative to their agenda for future discussions. The meeting concluded with a commitment to prioritize the upkeep of the 101 building, reflecting the community's dedication to preserving its historical landmarks.
