Kettering Government Center, 3600 Shroyer Rd, Kettering, Montgomery County, OH
"A booming young suburb" is perhaps the best description of Kettering in 1955, the year of its incorporation. In fact, there were so many people moving to Kettering that it became Ohio`s fastest growing city during the 1960`s. Even during this exciting period of whirlwind growth, however, the city had no central business district, nor could it claim a significant identifying landmark. During this same time, municipal offices were rapidly outgrowing the limited space they occupied in an old school house, turned "City Hall," as the city workforce grew to meet the increasing demands for service...The Kettering Government Center was completed and occupied in 1969.
