History Working Group and 85th Celebration

The History Working Group is a sub-committee of the Communications Committee.  Members have collected information about the building and its history, as well as the surrounding neighborhood.

 

We will be celebrating the building's 85th anniversary in 2025 with RETROFEST!!

 

 

 

In the meantime, you may enjoy some of the fruits of the History Working Group's efforts.
