In order to prepare itself for future growth the City of Ennis moved from its 100-year old home on 115 W. Brown St., where the original police and fire departments worked 107 N Sherman St. Originally built in 1950, the building was the headquarters for Ennis Business Forms for nearly 30 years. The City of Ennis has since acquired the building and completed an extensive renovation. It now houses many of their departments including utility billing and their municipal court.
