Adams Town Hall's Back Parking Lot Staircase Closed

ADAMS, Mass. — The staircase behind Town Hall was closed earlier this month as a safety precaution.

The winding staircase features two gazebo-style landings and leads to the rear parking lot, which sits atop a hill overlooking Town Hall.

Town Administrator Nick Caccamo said he closed the staircase out of an abundance of caution because it seems that most of the structure is on borrowed time.

He highlighted several concerns, including multiple staircase footings that are or have been sliding off the concrete pilings, as well as significant erosion underneath the structure.

The timeline for repairs remains unclear. In the meantime, employees can walk down the driveway on the north side of the building and enter through that side.

Visitors are able to park on the street in the front of Town Hall and use the front entrance; there is also handicap parking at the side of the building, behind the bank.

Caccamo was unsure of the age of the staircase but believes that it was built during the Town Hall renovation project.
