War Memorial
The Brockton War Memorial Building is the majestic architectural landmark located
at 156 West Elm Street in Brockton, Massachusetts. In 1930 this building was dedicated
to "the men and women who served our country in time of war" and it continues to
be the most visible and classic tribute to the sacrifice of our veterans.
For many years the Brockton War Memorial Building has served as a meeting place
for community veteran organizations and services, as well as the home of the Brockton
Symphony Orchestra. Regrettably though, time and exposure to the elements have taken
their toll on this Brockton landmark and for it to be preserved the building must
undergo major restoration. Therefore, the War Memorial Restoration Project has been
initiated.
This War Memorial Restoration Project (WMRP) offers the promise of community-wide
support to maintain the primary mandate of the War Memorial Building; to honor the
men and women who served our country in time of war. A proposed Veterans Memorial
Museum could be constructed in order to promote the virtues of Patriotism, Public
Service, and the Responsibilities of Citizenship. In order to insure greater public
and community access and utilization, the War Memorial Building will fulfill a secondary
mandate to community enrichment providing a home to a downtown Performing Arts Center
and the Brockton Symphony Orchestra.
The steering committee for this project is sponsoring a number of fundraisers including
War Memorial benefit concerts, the Dedication Walkway, and the Stepping-Stone Initiative.
We must come together to save the Brockton War Memorial Building!

Renovation Project.
