A HISTORIC BUILDING IN A HISTORIC TOWN
Kanokla has returned this beautiful building to its original structure downstairs in 1998, which houses its regional telecommunications, broadband, IT Solutions, design and print shop. The original upstairs ballroom served as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall and Rebekah Lodge, community and school dances, homecoming banquets, dance lessons and quilting bees, yet amazingly remained untouched throughout the century. The 2022-23 renovations were able to retain the original floors and beautiful tin ceilings adorned with stunning chandeliers, state-of-the-art connectivity and audio/visual systems, an elevator, kitchen, and two hotel style rooms.
