Originally built as a warehouse for the Radford Grocery Company in the 1920s, the existing building has been converted into a multipurpose event center with spaces for conventions, special events, and premier concerts. The Brownwood Event Center Complex is ideal for banquets, weddings, festivals, and other event types. The aesthetic intent is to bring in modern features while preserving the building’s original industrial character.
