Originally a warehouse that had been owned by Westheff's family for generations for generations was converted into a demanding event area in 1235.
“When considering how to take the room, we wanted to do something that would benefit the community and would contribute to the growth of North Lawrence,” said Westheffer. “It has always been a passion of me to organize events and bring people together. It felt like a natural fit to transform the building into an event location where a wide range of meetings could meet.”
Now the room has vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, polished concrete floors and stone accents. The neutral color palette enables event planners to adapt the decor so that it is a topic, regardless of whether it is a romantic wedding with flower arrangements or a slim company with a minimalist setup.
