A testament to Abilene’s rich fraternal and architectural heritage, this building has had several lives, and will now be the home of Belt Buckle Distillery. Known after 1940 as Carpenter’s Hall, the building incorporates elements of Classical Revival and Beaux-Arts design. We will tour what is open at the time of the course, with instructor Larry Sanders providing commentary on the history and plans for the future. Closed-toe shoes are recommended, and the building is not outfitted for people with mobility issues.
