Old Art Building
Snug in a river bend lined with flowers, Leland's Old Art Building stands within shouting distance of Main Street, but air enough back that a first-time visitor passing by may not notice it. With its white frame face, dark green trim and classic small-pane windows, it could be an early 1900s school or meeting hail in any number of small rural villages throughout the country. But to the thousands of residents and long-time visitors who come back year after year, the Old Art Building is Leland - in much the same way that Fishtown is Leland. It's a welcome home sign and a touchstone. Its wood floors and walls, the fieldstone fireplace and the curved wooden stage all echo sounds of dramatic readings, dancers' steps, clattering keys of an upright piano and the long0ago voices of summer.
