BRINGING HER BACK
INTERIOR
In the last 5 years, exterior construction and maintenance work has addressed structural damage, replaced aging air conditioning units, and installed an interior fire suppression system. Sadly, her interior needs much attention due to past water damage, normal wear and tear, and age deterioration of trim and finishes.
GROUNDS
BRINGING HER BACK
INTERIOR
The grounds of Orange Hall have a somewhat disjointed history. They have been hedged with orange trees, organized with formal plantings and vegetable gardens, and filled with an eclectic mix of outbuildings. Used for weddings, festivals, and private parties, the grounds encourage memories of grand southern gatherings.
