 “The Building”

23  “The Building” 
1019 Logan Ave.

    This building, constructed on the site of the Faber property, originally was the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Lodge #212 and was dedicated in March 1928. In June 1979, the Elks sold the building to the Tyrone-Snyder Public Library. 
    In 1990, the second-floor auditorium was completely renovated. 
    In March 2004, the contents of the library were moved to the renovated first floor of what remains of the former First National Bank Building (Jones Building). 
    On April 1, 2004, the building was sold to the Tyrone Community Players, which uses the space as a focal point for the arts in the community. The group plans to incorporate a small, public presentation space suitable for cabaret-type performances along with exhibit and gallery space, rehearsal areas for TCP performances, and storage for mountains of costumes, properties, and decor pieces. The group also intends to make the building available for public uses such as music and dance lessons.. 
    In August 2005, the TCP Board of Directors renamed the building “The Building.”
