From Hunter Green to Brick Red

Work continued this week at The Dalles Civic Auditorium on East Fourth St. Crews with H.B. Painters are deep into the exterior renovation. It is one of the last steps in the revitalization of the 100-year-old building. Vounteers have been working to bring the project to fruition for some 30 y. Painting crews are sealing the brick and painting the windows and walls.

A new trim color was also selected - changing from hunter green to a brick red with a little black eyeliner around the windows and doors. The work was made possible by Jerry McKay and Nancy Fath. They provided a challenge grant of $100,000, and it has been matched thus far with $70,000 from community members for a total of $140,000 that can currently be expended.
