The Schoolfield Welfare Building, now known as Schoolfield Presents, is a historic function hall at 917 West Main Street in Danville, Virginia.
The architecturally eclectic brick two story building was built 1916-17 by Dan River Inc. within the company town.[4] The building originally served as a combination medical clinic, daycare, and meeting space.[5]
The non-profit Schoolfield Preservation Foundation purchased the building in 2007, and has since been renamed to Schoolfield Presents. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[2] As part of the Caesars Virginia casino redevelopment, part of the building will be turned into a coworking space.[5]
The building has a Mission-style tile hip roof, with extended eaves supported by brackets. The building housed meeting spaces, a day-care center, and a medical clinic, as well as providing a large function space. A kindergarten playhouse made out of false logs and daubing was added to the property in 1938.[6]
