A vision of Revitalization

In the early 2011, a group of dedicated community members came together to invest in a positive future for the City of Gloversville through the formation of the Schine Memorial Hall LLC. The LLC raised enough funds to purchase Schine Memorial Hall and began a renovation process that was needed in order to bring the once-thriving building back.

Schine Memorial Hall's history is long and deeply rooted in the heyday of Gloversville, New York. The building itself has been the anchor for arts and culture since the 1880s. Our investors’ vision was one of revitalization, renewal, and reincarnation of the space.

Memorial Hall investors have worked to create lively street-level storefronts, second-story office space, and a third floor dedicated to the arts.

“There’s something very tangible about investing in the Schine Memorial Hall Building. Because I grew up in Gloversville, I wanted to be a positive part of restoring and preserving a Main Street classic which most of us remember with great clarity. In a world of tearing down the old, it is very satisfying to know that the remarkable people invested in this project are moving forward with an unsentimental value of preserving the beauty of the past.”

We chose to live in Gloversville many years ago for several reasons, the sense of community and sidewalks connecting people and places are among two of the reasons. We value the connections to people, the sense of being there for each other.

Our investment in Schine Memorial Hall is an outgrowth of community connection. What happens to downtown, affects all of us. If you look up as you walk, you can see the pride that people once took in their buildings. We want that for all of Gloversville, and we are starting with the Schine building.
