Did you know that the Archwood Hall has foundational roots stemming all the way back to 1906? When our guests have their wedding venue or events in our space it can be described nothing short of “stepping back into time.”

If you ever wondered why the building looks so picturesque, it is because it was designed by famed Coeur d’Alene architect George Williams. It was built mostly by volunteer labor as the community rallied around it being erected. On its two street-facing facades you will see stepped gables, these are made with old fashioned white pressed brick. The building has two watchful towers of differing heights looking out over the residents that live nearby. A number of George’s buildings are listed with the National Register. He designed the CDA City Hall and Roosevelt School off of 1st and Wallace Sts.
