and better things for Decatur and Morgan County allowing the River City to continue
to attract national tournaments as well as additional family-friendly activities, corporate
events, expositions, outdoor shows, art exhibitions and festivals.
The two massive stone fireplaces bookend a porched wrapped lodge building. The overhead doors are glass and allow light to pass through,
even when closed, timber framing is used at the porches.
The actual timber, old growth heart pine was reclaimed and reused from one of Decatur’s more historic buildings - the Bailey-Robinson
Building. These timbers were in the Bailey-Robinson building for over 100 years.
The interior of the building has smooth finished concrete floors with high arching open ceilings. Multiple roof dormers provide open light

building facility.
The design intent of the interior was to make it as multi-use as possible.
