BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) - The Keep Beatrice Beautiful program has been awarded a $10,000 grant by the Keep America Beautiful Community Paint Donation Program to help upkeep the interior of the Beatrice City Auditorium.
The Beatrice Daily Sun reports that officials will use the money to purchase 400 gallons of cream-colored, specialized paint to coat the interior walls.
Public Properties Director Mark Pethoud estimates that the last time the building received a fresh coat of paint was 25 years ago.
Construction of the building was started in 1939 and was completed in 1940. The historical auditorium was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
