The Niles Veterans Hall in Fremont, CA is a historic building that was designed in the California Spanish style by architects George R. Klinkhardt and Mildred S. Meyers in the 1930s. It features unique interior and exterior elements, including exposed roof trusses with stencil designs inspired by old Spanish ceilings, decorative tile and draperies, and light fixtures influenced by old Spanish designs.
This architecturally significant building underwent seismic rehabilitation and accessibility upgrades in 2000, while preserving its historic features such as the lobby, auditorium with maple floors and stenciled trusses, stage, metal-lined film projection room, and the intact fireplace in the men's clubroom. The Niles Veterans Hall is a memorial building that pays tribute to the military, with a terracotta bust of a World War I doughboy above the main entrance and original walls made of local Kraftile hollow clay tile, scrolled ironwork, and red Spanish tile.
