The Hiberrian Hall in Boston has one of the largest dance floors in the city. However, the building fell into disrepair over the years as the surrounding community went south. It is now the home to the Roxbury Center for the Arts at Hiberrian Hall. images courtesy fieldstonealliance.org

 


Give Preservation a Chance!

So put it all together and yes, you can have historic restoration of old or neglected buildings. All it takes is a little optimism on your part and belief in the preservationists that can envision the end result.
