Then and now: Vets’ buildings in Dixon Veterans’ organizations have been popular in Solano County over the years, with Travis Air Force Base lending some clout to their status. Also, returning vets from Iraq and Afghanistan potentially bring some new blood to the groups. Dixon’s American Legion Post 208 in Dixon was formed just after World War I, in 1920, and Dixon’s Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 8151 is a relative newcomer, having been formed in 1988. Soon after the Legion post in Dixon was constituted with around 30 members, it began meeting or holding events at places such as Madden Hall at the fairgrounds, in the Weyand Building and in the IOOF building. The Legion post soon began a push for a Legion hall and community building. Fortunately for the post, the Schulze family of Schulze store fame (see my recent column about them) donated some land for the building. A bank loan was then obtained using the property as collateral – that is, a mortgage was created. For only around $12,000 the land was cleared and the two-story building with a basement was built which still stands today at 231 First Street in the downtown. It was dedicated in 1924. However, its glory days are over, and today it stands empty and dour-looking. But for many years the building was a very active community center where many social occasions, meetings and fundraisers were held. As they say, the walls could tell many stories, with memories of music and dancing, speeches and food being served. As an example of the political sway that veterans held in the county, around 1928 the county supervisors decided to fund the establishment of veterans’ halls in the other five cities in the county, although they were not legally required to do so. A special tax was levied for the purpose. Some controversy developed because Dixon’s, the first one built, had been self-funded, and Vallejo was asking for Update description
