Located at 145 Central Avenue South in Milaca, Minnesota, the Milaca Municipal Hall is a Streamline Moderne civic building constructed during the Great Depression as a Works Progress Administration project. Built from fieldstone, brick, and concrete by 155 workers and six superintendents, the structure exemplifies public works architecture of the 1930s, though its fieldstone facade introduces an Arts and Crafts sensibility to its modernist design. The multipurpose building originally housed the fire department and village council, a library, a 200-seat auditorium, a community kitchen, and American Legion space in the basement, serving as a venue for church and civic gatherings. Artwork funded by the Federal Arts Project was executed by André Boratko. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the building now functions as the local museum and history center.
