History
The gallery was originally part of “Automobile Row” at the turn of the 20th century. It first functioned as a brake shop and maintains much of its historic architecture and signage. In 1968, riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. caused citywide destruction. The loft in much of its current state represents the city’s attempt to rebuild and revitalize after these riots.

Fantastic venue
Not only were I and my husband pleased with the venue for a wedding of about 90 people, but our guests exclaimed how much they loved the venue and how perfect it was during and after the wedding. Kristen and Emily were flexible and accommodating, and the venue also has a great reputation among our other vendors.

We worked with Kristen from start to finish and she was super easy to work with, very responsive and fun. She had great ideas for setup and decor when needed and was there on the day of our event to make sure that everything went off without a hitch! Kristen makes planning a dream!!!
We were able to play our own music through FG's sound system and we loved having framed photos of us on the walls.
I'd absolutely recommend this space for brides looking for a hip space to host both a rehearsal dinner and welcome party all in one spot. Old Blue BBQ was our caterer and they worked seamlessly with Kristen to pull off a perfect event.
