Fredericksburg Square has a long history and only a few previous owners. Originally built as a townhouse in 1854, it survived the Civil War and was eventually bought in 1905 and converted to Elks Lodge #857. The Elks constructed a large addition in 1925 and remained in operation until 1996, when the property was purchased by Van and Deborah Perroy. The Perroys operated several businesses within the building over the course of their ownership, notably the four-diamond-rated restaurant Augustine’s, and Fredericksburg Square, with its grand ceilings and two stunning ballrooms, primarily became known as a high-end wedding venue.
The new ownership team is honored to become a part of this history and will invite a wide audience to experience the grand old building in exciting new ways.
