Benevolent Ball at The Howard
Originally designed in 1927 by architect Henry Auler, the Old English/Tudor Revival-style building totals 33,000 square feet and three floors. The interior boasts 25-foot-high vaulted ceilings alongside original stained glass accents and handcarved crown moldings. Many fixtures and floorplans remain intact as well. The venue’s iconic, 7,000-square-foot concert hall and ballroom spans two floors. The grandiose entertainment hub is outfitted with ornate whitewashed ceilings detailed with elaborate brass filigree works that support optimal acoustics.
The expansive development maintains the building’s original opulent craftsmanship, imbued with updated interior elements that harken back to the grandeur of early 20th-century architecture.
