The Empire Room is a venue for entertainment, corporate events, and weddings in Greensboro. The ballroom is located at 203 South Elm Street, alongside the Regency Room and in the building that was built in 1949 for the Ellis Stone Department Store. The 9,500 sure foot Empire Room can accommodate up to 800 people. Part of the charm of the Empire room is the 30 ft. ceilings. Of course, the crystal chandeliers, the floor-to-ceiling glass balconies that overlook Elm Street, and the food catered by the Painted Plate add to the elegance of the evening.
The "E" logo is the first thing you see from street level, just before you go through the second set of glass doors to ascend to the Empire Room. If you are local, we hope you get to attend an event here, if you haven't done so already. Today is ABC Wednesday, and for our "E" in the Prominent Alphabet Series, "E" is for Empire!
Lovely choise for this weeks letter ! Not one to overlook easily walking down the street there ;-)
Have a nice ABC-W-day / - week

In the early 1960s my Daddy used to work as a parking attendant for Thalheimers in that same building as that parking garage has always been a nightmare.
That was one of 3 jobs he worked at the same time. Another was changing tires at Western Auto down the street and the 3rd was full time at Lorillard Tobacco Company pre union days.

I do like the sign.

The sign is elegant. Clearly an impressive venue.
