THE BALSIGER OR THE EGYPTIAN EVENT CENTER (PHOTOGRAPHS 1-6) AND HISTORIC AND NEWS ARTICLE INFO


Balsiger Ford Building, also called The Egyptian Event Center Landmark was built in 1929 and was located in Klamath Falls, Oregon in Klamath County (Southern Oregon). It was an art deco design based on ancient Egyptian architecture. I personally love all things ancient Egyptian (which inspires a lot of my artwork) even when it’s found in Klamath Falls, Oregon and not Egypt.

Sadly, the building was recently torn down in 2016, even though it should have been listed as a historical building.
