BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION
OPEN HOUSE DRAWS
EXCELLENT RESPONSE
Increased interest in the Tennessee Walking Horse
Breeders' Association was clearly indicated as large
crowds of Walking Horse enthusiasts came to Lewis-
burg, Tennessee on Sunday, August 30 to attend the
Open House of the new national headquarters of the
Association. Held during the Celebration and spon­
sored by the Board of Directors, the Open House
lasted for several hours and treated visitors to a tour
of the new facilities with an explanation of the func­
tions of the Association.
The new structure is a pleasant blend of modern
furnishings and traditional architecture. The entire
facility is designed to fulfill the requirements of the
Association and its members. Maximum attention
has been paid to the needs of the office staff and the
efficient processing of registration papers. A spacious
meeting room, accented by large windows on two
sides, provides accommodations for over three hundred
people.
The double entry doors leading off the large colonial-
style front porch open onto a spacious foyer that
boasts a large dome structure that extends completely
to the roof. Skylights on all four sides of the dome
food the foyer with natural illumination. A reception
room is located to the right of the front door, and an
executive office is so situated that immediate access
can be maintained to all personnel and information.
Adequate meeting rooms for both private gatherings
and board meetings are provided. Kitchen facilities
and other similar features add to the comfort of the
employees.
WAITING FOR SECONDS - Pari ofthelarge
crowds that visited the Breeders- Association
during the open house is shown in front of
the refreshment table. They are probably
waiting for seconds on "tea and crumpets.
WELCOME — C. M. Waters, Jr., member of the Board of Directors, talks
with Paul Brienza, president of the American Walking Horse Association,
about the new Association building.
The records will be kept in a 20x30' fireproof room
that includes the automatic filing equipment. Em­
ployees will work with all files in this room and no
records will have to be removed from this room in
order to be processed. Six small offices are located
directly outside the vault room and all papers can be
typed and proofed with a minimum of effort. The
whole structure was well planned for the maximum in
efficiency, beauty and comfort.
Parking space for over one hundred cars is divided
between a large lot in front of the building and a very
l°t in the rear. Landscaping has not been com­
pleted,
the property will shortly become one of the
s ow plaCes of Middle Tennessee as it lies on a rolling
