The Community Center is an historic building with a rich history. It was originally designed in the Italian Renaissance style by Bakersfield architect Orville Clark as a funeral home with integrated living quarters. It was built in 1911 for the Payne family business at an initial cost of $30,000. The building is constructed entirely of brick with tapered column piers on each side of the entrance and was designed to resemble an elegant residence with matching parlors, a distinctive tiled lobby and extensive mahogany interior woodwork and trim. A 1948 renovation added additional flooring space and updated interiors.
