A “City Club” atmosphere in a historic setting where friends, family and business associates can gather to enjoy each other’s company, to dine, dance, and do business—this is the community’s new event space. The fully renovated 1885 building features the original restored stained glass windows and baseboard trim coming alive after 125 years. Located on the third floor of the new Center For Business Services this is a private, yet centrally located event space. This exciting new space is conveniently located in downtown Lima, adjacent to the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center of Lima/Allen County.

The Exhibit Hall can be divided into three sections -- the North, South and Center Halls -- so that more than one event may take place at one time. The Exhibit Hall has been the site for conferences and conventions, trade and product shows, banquets and private parties, and entertainment events such as horse shows, circuses, boxing, wrestling, fashion shows and many others. There is ample power for the most demanding events, open telephone lines, compressed air lines, cable television and complete audio/visual support available in-house or through our recommended local vendors. Banquet tables and seating can accommodate up to 944. Local caterers provide food service
