Gothic Revival building of stone modeled after the dining hall at Christ College of Oxford, England, featuring turrets and a tall stained glass window with pointed arch above the arched entrance. Above the entrance appears the line from the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread." Originally used as a dining hall, it is now used as a band hall and meeting area for special occasions. A high beamed ceiling creates an English Cathedral effect. The building was a gift to Berry in the 1920s by Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company and his wife Clara.
