HistoryA three story Art Deco building originally built as the The Hunter Building by two brothers, Sam and Joe Hunter in 1931. They had an oil and gas firm located on the third floor. The first floor and front room on Market street was then the Chrysler Desoto Car Dealership and showroom floor. This room features large floor to ceiling windows and terrazzo checkered brass inlay floors. The Hunter Building started total restoration in 2003 and finished restoration in 2005. The building was completely restored to its former glory and you feel as if you are back in time to 1931 when you enter it's doors. Today we call this front room the Ballroom.
