The design for this historic ballroom and event center features a new glass-enclosed pre-function lobby, renovated ballroom, new community room, covered colonnade and renovation of the historic Alger House. The design visually harmonizes the historic buildings with an elegant, contemporary addition and new ballroom facade.

Natural materials were selected to allow for a monumental presentation, creatively bringing symmetry to the exterior and colonnade to represent soldiers marching information. The beveled edge of the new entryway replicates the angled roofline of the historic house. Natural materials were selected to enhance native plantings. The result is an all-encompassing civic memorial that enhances the legacy of its history, while creating new communal spaces.
