It is a four-story, 55,000 square foot, missions-revival style building, representing the hopes of the western frontier. The first floor of The Grace Museum includes an elegant, historic marble ballroom, a glass loggia, a large enclosed brick courtyard, and a restored lobby. The rooftop has a large, open-air terrace. Many weddings and other parties and functions are booked into the museum spaces.
