The Aragon Ballroom
1106 West Lawrence Avenue
The Aragon was built in 1926 at the then exorbitant cost of two million dollars (considering the price of admission was only 90 cents). It was designed to replicate a Spanish palace courtyard with crystal chandeliers, mosaic tiles, garishly painted plaster, terra-cotta ceiling and beautiful arches. The dance floor is unique and rests on a cushion of cork, felt and springs.
