The décor at Lower Burrell’s Fisher Hall was getting a bit too rustic for the times, so a city councilwoman and the public works department are working on a face-lift for one of the city popular social halls.
Located in Burrell Lake Park, Fisher Hall is the go-to venue for showers, graduations and other small events for 75 people or less.
However, the rustic, rough cut wood paneling hasn’t aged well and has been difficult to clean and keep clean, said Rosina Albanese, the Lower Burrell councilwoman leading the renovation project.
