Bill > HJR1322

This resolution, passed by the Tennessee General Assembly, honors the Walden's Ridge Civic Center for its recent inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, a prestigious list maintained by the National Park Service that recognizes properties significant to American history. The resolution highlights the building's history, originally constructed in 1921 as the Fairmount Auditorium for a grammar school and a community gathering space. After the school closed, the Walden's Ridge Civic League (WRCL) took over the building in 1946, using it as their headquarters and undertaking important local improvements like installing water lines and improving roads, while also hosting various community events, recreational activities, and social clubs. The WRCL continues to maintain and operate the building for the community's benefit, and the General Assembly finds it fitting to recognize this historic landmark.
