At our Round Top, TX location, Recycling the Past has designed and built a 12,000-square-foot space bringing together green building techniques, unique raw materials, distinctive design and eclectic décor providing the perfect setting for any event.
The Round Top Ballroom’s rustic feel stems from the building’s construction and interior design. The walls of the main hall are lined with recycled tin from an old barn. The walls of the bathrooms, kitchen and mezzanine are made from local salvaged bead board.
The building is characterized by clearstory architectural design with high windows above eye level to bring outside light and fresh air into the inner space. The low-impact design includes salvaged steel factory windows, recycled chicken wire glass and skylights to allow natural light to flood the 40-foot tall palatial structure. And when the sun sets, LED lights keep the party going.
Sixteen-foot fans provide ample air circulation and reflective roofing materials keep the space cool even on the hottest Texas days.
Not only does the Round Top Ballroom have room for an event of up to 150 guests, but you’ll find a plethora of vintage building materials, reclaimed lumber, unique furnishings, salvaged aircraft parts, and wonders from Mother Earth, in and around the building. Shopping at the Round Top Ballroom is an adventure in itself. Peruse the architectural salvaged treasures that Recycling The Past has to offer. Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer, contractor, renovator, decorator, or just looking for that je ne sais quoi for your home or office, if you can’t find what you are looking for at the Ballroom, check out our online selection at recyclingthepast.com.
