Another feature of the building we'll be repurposing is some of the stained glass. You'll find it in unique spots when the venue is finished!

That includes the ELEVEN O'CLOCK LOUNGE! This lounge will be on the first floor and the name is a nod to the building's history as the Elks do an Eleven O'clock Toast. We plan to use the glass with the clock on it for a bar backdrop. Notice it's also set to 11:00🙂

The old stage in The Ballroom is gone 🥲 Don’t worry, we’ll be putting in a platform for your head table, a band, DJ or your emcee!

We are also hoping to repurpose this old wood from the stage and use it to build our bars!

And how cool is this!? Our crew found this “Our Absent Brothers” sign during the stage demo. It is significant to the Elks and is the same saying that was above one of the doorways in the building.
