Classic Center Firehall into the Athens Convention and Visitor’s Bureau

, May 5, 2017

The original firehall was saved by local citizen input when the Classic Center Theatre and Convention Center project was born in the late 1990s. The renovated firehall was a crown jewel that acted as a connector from the theatre to the ballroom/exhibition hall. However, the space was underutilized and often served as a storage room for chairs and tables. The Classic Center administration collaborated and decided to convert the wide open and beautifully renovated room into the offices for the Athens Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. Paul Cramer, the Executive Director prevailed upon local architect, David Matheny, AIA at Armentrout Matheny.
