Located in one of New England's finest parks, the Garden House stands on the site of the former Look Park pool building, a nostalgic Northampton landmark built in 1930. The restoration of the building, now unsurpassed in comfort and convenience, keeps faith with the Mission style architecture of the earlier period.

The interior speaks of simple country elegance, featuring a large stone fireplace and mahogany paneled walls decorated with hand-crafted botanical stencils. The enclosed sunporch offers a lovely view of some of the park's many attractions, and is accented with tasteful wrought iron accessories, opalesque wall sconces, and awnings reminiscent of earlier days at the pool building.

The capacity of the Garden House allows for 170 people to be comfortably seated at our 5 foot round tables with chairs including space for our 15 X18 dance floor. The Garden House is both carpeted and air-conditioned. Two complete bars (one opens to the sunporch) and a state-of the-art caterer's kitchen significantly contribute to many community uses for this facility.

A tent is available for larger functions from May through October in the adjacent courtyard and sitting wall area. This can be rented to accommodate an additional 200 people, bringing the combined seating capacity for the premises to 375.
