Jessie Ball Dupont Center
Business Information
The Jessie Ball duPont Center is, architecturally, a "Mid-Century Modern" structure — a label that defines more that the point in time when it was constructed.
More Information

Mid-Century Modern architecture is marked by open floor plans, ample windows and seamless connections between the interior and the outdoors. It is a reflection of an era — an era when World War II was behind us and "space-age" technologies created new materials that opened up exciting possibilities in construction and design.
