People always ask "What was this place before?"
The short answer is that it was built as a car dealership in 1919. The long answer is...well, longer.

But there were soaring ceilings and dramatic I beams, too. It was a hidden gem just waiting to host hundreds of parties and life-changing moments.
Here are a few photos from those days. Would you have seen the potential?
