A cultural centerpiece in Dunbar is being restored to its former glory.
McCollum Hall has a long history as a staple of the community. It was once a place for entertainment, where everyone of any color was invited, and now it’s coming back to life.
You may not look twice at the vacant building along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, just east of downtown Fort Myers, but you can watch it reflourish.
It was the place to be in the 1930s and 40s, and rare in the days of segregation.
