Built in 1831 by Hezekiah Eldredge for the Bank of Genesee, the three-story Federal-style brick mansion that is now the cultural community's new home is the only surviving example of a business establishment for that period. It became a private club in 1886 and continued as such until 2000 when the over 100-year-old club closed the building. In 2002, the former "Batavia Club" was generously gifted to the Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council (aka GO ART!), making the building open to the public for the first time since the 1800s. The Honorable Barber B. Conable, Jr., a resident of nearby Alexander, was instrumental in getting the building listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

GO ART! is proud to have undertaken a bold new project in the adaptive re-use of the former "Batavia Club" building. This new venue offers exhibit, performance, teaching, rehearsal and workshop space, while also providing community meeting space and offices & communication support for our cultural organizations & artists.
