History of The Community Arts Center
The Community Arts Center is a Beaux Arts style building originally constructed in 1909 as the United States Post Office and later known as the Federal Building. After the post office moved in 1961 the building had several occupants including military recruitment offices and U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Pierce Lively's law offices.
Through the generous support of our community, the building has been refurbished to its original beauty with the addition of modern amenities. It is now home to the arts and artists of our community. Its rooms are now galleries, studios and classrooms which will allow for the teaching, practicing and viewing of the arts. In addition, the adaptive reuse of this landmark preserves our historic downtown and enhances our cultural heritage.
Original construction photographs and other artifacts and memorabilia can be found in the Archive Room on the second floor of the Community Arts Center.
