This room, fronting on Periwinkle Way, is the original Community House structure, built-in 1927. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Restored in 2016 as part of the Community House renovation, this room retains original “Old Florida” design elements including fireplaces on the East & West walls, hardwood floors, the original “front doors” of the Community House, and a wall of windows looking out onto Periwinkle Way. This room provides a charming space for smaller events such as weddings or family parties. Its architectural features make it a popular choice for those wanting to connect to Sanibel history. From the Founders Room, a moveable acoustic wall can be opened up to join this room with the Community Room. When combined, these two rooms provide enough space to seat 100 people for dinner, plus a small band and dance floor area.

This room is in the “middle” between the Founders Room on the front and the Great Hall auditorium on the rear of the building. It is connected directly to the kitchen by a large serving window, so it often serves as the location for food and cooking-related classes and chef demonstrations. This room is ideal for business presentations or club speakers. A mobile screen is available for video presentations. Depending on the setup, this room can hold up to 171 guests.

This large auditorium was originally built in the 1970s, expanding the Community House space to enable larger activities. Recently renovated, it features a large, curtained performance stage and entrances on the East and West sides of the building. The Great Hall typically hosts large banquets, public meetings, cultural performances, film showings, and arts & crafts displays. Depending on the setup, it can accommodate as many as 447 people. The Great Hall measures 60 feet by 52 feet. Along the back wall, is a raised stage (12 feet deep) equipped with theatrical track lights. The ceiling height is 13 feet, with dimmable light fixtures and a grid system for mounting additional lighting and event decorations. Wall hangings can be hung from a picture rail that surrounds the room, adding additional flavor to your event.

This small meeting room was a new addition to the Community House created during the 2016 renovation. Equipped with a conference table and comfortable chairs, it is perfect for smaller group meetings. It can also be used as a private administrative space for organizations hosting a large event using the entire facility. This small meeting room can hold meetings up to 20 guests.
