rt, culture, and professional management are the three basic ingredients that go into the makings of a Grande Building. Allow time for this combination to mature and add a few reminders of bygone days...the kind of historical details that could be turned into a fascinating book and you have Fredericksburg Square. Since 1837 the passion and imagination of historic downtown Fredericksburg have been interwoven with this grand facility, lending it the exclusiveness of a private club, the glamour of exquisite ballrooms and even a theater to lend just a hint of off-stage mystery.
