What they do
THE BUILDING WAS LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER of HISTORIC PLACES IN 1985; HOWEVER, ITS HISTORIC STATUS WAS NO GUARANTEE of IMMUNITY FROM TIME and PROGRESS. WHEN DEMOLITION THREATENED THE BUILDING IN 1994, A GROUP of CITIZENS RALLIED to SAVE THE GRANADA. AFTER MANY YEARS of HARD WORK, IT HAS BEEN RESTORED to ITS LUSTEROUS BEAUTY. and NOW, THE RESTORED HISTORICAL EMPORIA GRANADA THEARE is A DESTINATION for EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL, and SOCIAL EVENTS THAT STRENGHTHEN THE COMMUNITY. THE FIRST FLOOR WAS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY to ACCOMODATE ANY KIND of EVENT, WHETHER IT BE A CONFERENCE, SEMINAR, MEETING PLACE, CLASSROOM, WEDDING RECEPTION, DANCE, THEATRE, CONCERT or PARTY. THIS BEAUTIFUL MULTI-USE BUILDING HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY THE CITIZENS of EMPORIA and LYON COUNTY and WILL SERVE THEIR EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL, and SOCIAL NEEDS for MANY YEARS to COME.
