In the 19th century, the Dickens Room was a Members’ lounge, complete with Victorian accoutrements and artwork. Adjacent to the Great Hall and overlooking Main Street, today the Dickens Room is used for small pre- concert receptions for up to 40, a quiet room for weddings and other celebrations taking place in the Great Hall, and sometimes bar service stations. With the floor to ceiling windows that give Mechanics Hall distinction from Main Street, the Dickens Room provides an elegant atmosphere for your private event.
