After sitting vacant since 2014, the structure has been revitalized through a historic rehabilitation that transformed the former bank and office building into the Waymark Hotel.

The project includes a rooftop bar, Iris, and a hidden speakeasy, The Vault, tucked inside the original bank vault. Historic tax credits supported the careful repair and restoration of character-defining features throughout.

This three-day conference will include an engaging line-up of guest speakers, educational sessions, tours, vendors, awards programming, and networking opportunities to connect architects, design professionals, associates, engineers, contractors, interior designers, landscape architects, firm owners, owners/clients, emerging professionals, and beyond.
