Just
south of the larger Wayne Room was a smaller banquet
hall. This was known as the Bagley Room. It was
styled in the Italian manner.
The
Bagley Room measured 41 by 50 feet and could seat
300 for meetings and 200 for banquets. Three large
doors could be opened and thus the Bagley could
serve as a 'spillover' room for the Wayne.
Sometime
in the 1960's a large freight elevator was installed
between the ballroom floor and the basement. This
ran right through the south end of the Bagley.
The room was thus cut down in size and redecorated.
Mirrors covered the columns and a curtain hid
the elevator.
