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 Schine Memorial Hall LLC. The LLC raised enough funds to purchase Memorial Hall and began a renovation process that was needed in order to bring the once-thriving building back to life.
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.
Schine Memorial Hall investors have worked to create lively street-level storefronts, second-story office space, and a third floor dedicated to the arts.
"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."

"We invested in Schine Memorial LLC because we wanted to be a part of the revitalization of the downtown area. We believe that this revitalization will lead to improvement in the entire city of Gloversville and ultimately the surrounding region. Also, our business is located in downtown Gloversville, and a thriving Schine Building, we believe, will draw more people to the area improving our business as a result. We are excited for the possibilities that the Schine Building provides, including retail, commercial, professional, and living space."

"We support positive endeavors to make our community shine. By joining people with forward thinking attitudes, we believe we can make a difference. Preserving the beautiful Schine Building is one step in this direction."
