Description

Specialties

Originally built in 1929, Overlook Hall was designed in the manner of an Italian chapel and served for many years as the community’s Christian Science church. Eventually closed, the building underwent a complete restoration in 2010. The upstairs sanctuary includes almost 1,200′ of open space with heavy beamed ceilings, original Douglas fir flooring, spacious windows, a raised stage with aft restroom, wall heaters, and a sweeping outside deck facing the Pacific. It has been certified for occupancy up to 125 people. Downstairs — formerly a Sunday school classroom — includes a private area for lounging or storage with a full-​service kitchenette and extra-​large bathroom. The property is fully landscaped and steps to Avalon’s nicest hotels, making it ideal for weddings, corporate meetings, reunions, commemorative events, art shows, and more.

History

Established in 2014.

The newly-​named Overlook Hall at 209 East Whittley has now emerged from its two-​year renovation in spectacular form. First opened in 1929 as a Christian Science church, the building was originally designed after the Chapel San Croce near Florence, Italy. After more than 60 years of service, it closed in the early 1990s and remained shuttered until 2009 when it was purchased by a property restoration expert.
