The 1896 Studios and Stages

The 1896 Studios and Stages This turn-of-the-century factory space has a tangle of different photo/film shooting locations—both indoors and out—from a smokestack to brick-lined alley way.

Small and large productions welcome. Loads of space available for events & lectures. Our Locations currently include:

*Four large turn-of-the-century warehouses featuring
steel-girder skylit ceilings and various brick finishes throughout.

*GROUND-LEVEL STAGES, great for all waterworks (floors drains, ground-level, no sub-basement) as well as drive-in car shots, and pyrotechnics.

*A Brick-lined outdoor courtyard and drive '*the alley way'* (2,500 sq ft),

*A massive roof (5,250 sq ft.) with views of the city as well as several other smaller roof tops.

*An assortment of roof ladders and architectural accents, a full fire-escape as well as two balconies overlooking the courtyard and drive.

*A raw brick two-bedroom loft apartment, (1700 sq ft) 12' tall wood beam ceilings, sunny, rustic, fully furnished.

*Various artist studios (135 - 1500 sq ft), empty and working.

*A turn-of-the-century large-sized freight elevator, as well as two three-story stairwells with various finishes. The main stages feature a wide variety of weathered walls as well as scenic walls, in addition to your standard white wall, white brick and red brick. Unique turn-of-the-century architectural details throughout, an over 300 piece prop inventory - and soon-to-be-launched Primate Props website, plus plenty of space to build out your own sets. We hope to see you here soon.

A few covers we’re still pretty proud of.

Over the years, a lot of incredible teams have walked through these doors.

Still surreal seeing them all together.
