=Architecture and Renovations=

The bricks for the Rose Center were fired by William A.G. Dean, a member of the 61st Mounted Infantry. In 1977, a major renovation of the outside of the building was done, financed by a federal grant and the funds collected form the fundraiser at the first Mountain Makins' Festival. Since the building opened as Rose Center, numerous improvements have been made to the facility, including addition of climate control for all rooms, new rest room area, renovation of ceilings and walls in classrooms, and refinishing of original wood floors in the lobby areas, staircase, and main building classrooms.
