When the Arts Council acquired the Barton Arts Center on January 1, 2000, they actually acquired two buildings which are attached.
The first floor of the main building has been converted from a shoe store to an art gallery. Behind the gallery is a smaller building which had housed the Army Recruiter, but had become just a storeroom for the shoe store.
