The Ballroom At Mckay

Originally constructed in 1914 when it was only a few stories and known as the Wonderly Building, the McKay Tower has served as a historic landmark on the Grand Rapids skyline.
Designed by architects with Owen-Ames Kimball, Co., McKay Tower originally served as a home to the Grand Rapids National Bank.
In 1925, an additional twelve stories were added, plus two more mechanical floors in the early 1940s, effectively giving Grand Rapids its new tallest skyscraper.
The Amway Grand Tower surpassed McKay Tower's tallest skyscraper title when it was completed in 1983, and McKay Tower now holds the title of the fifth-largest building in Grand Rapids.
