Built in 1913, downtown’s Healey Building was designed by W.T. Downing.

The property is known for its "ornate cathedral-like rotunda and domed lobby redefined grandeur," according to the building's website. In 2001, the property, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was converted into condos. 

The discussion, which will be held virtually on Zoom, will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 2.
