Site and Directions

The Site

The Grand Ball will take place at the the Brookline Auction Gallery in Brookline, NH. This is a lovely hall with cream-colored walls and a parquet floor,
about 60' x 60'. The lighting in the pictures below shows bright fluorescents, but dimmer (more appropriate) ceiling lights are also available,
and will be used at the Ball.

There will be a ladies' changing room upstairs. This room (the hall office) is large and open (although the ceiling is a bit low).
There will be a clothing rack in the middle of the room to hang garment bags, and two full-length mirrors, along with chairs and a table or two around the walls for laying out accoutrements.

Apologies to the men - there is only one reasonable room available for changing, which has been allotted to the ladies. The men will have to change in the men's room, if they need to change.

A Note to Parents

This is a formal evening event. There is no special place in this hall for young ladies and gentlemen to retire should they not be able to maintain formal manners. Space can be made in the ladies' changing room, but there is unfortunately no separate room available.

Directions

Take your best route to Route 3 (Everett Turnpike) in New Hampshire. From Rt. 3, take Exit 6 (Route 130 West, Broad Street). This is a couple of minutes north over the border from Massachusetts, near Nashua.

Go west on Route 130 (Broad Street) towards Hollis and Brookline about 8 miles. You will:

Pass the Brookdale Fruit Farm
Bear Right just after the Fruit Farm, following Rt. 130 (now Ash Street).
Cross Route 122 and keep going on Route 130 (now Proctor Hill Road)
Pass the Diamond Casting Co.

When you see RMR Restorations on your right, the Brookline Auction Gallery will be the next turn out, on your right.

Below are some pictures of the undecorated hall. We will be decorating the hall with curtain hangings and table drapes; we are aiming for the look of an elegant ballroom in an 18th century mansion.
