Red Cross Building

The Red Cross Building sits within the Vancouver National Historic Reserve in Vancouver, Washington, just minutes from downtown and the waterfront. The historic structure pairs original character — high ceilings, original hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and a sunroom — with modern updates, and its French doors open onto a porch overlooking a courtyard. The building's main hall configures for mix-and-mingle events of up to 150 guests or seated receptions of up to 100, while its attached courtyard suits medium-sized ceremonies and cocktail hours and its lawn offers room for yard games and casual mingling. A wedding suite doubles as a changing room, coat check, or quiet break area, and a catering prep kitchen supports on-site catering. The venue also accommodates professional gatherings of 20 to 80 guests in classroom or boardroom configurations. Rental packages include tables and chairs, a bar structure, Wi-Fi, a podium and easels, on-site event staff, and porch furniture with seasonal umbrellas; audiovisual equipment, stanchions, and additional outdoor chairs are available for an added fee. The property is managed by The Historic Trust, with free parking and easy access from I-5 and Highway 14.
