Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built in 1904, this former shoe factory has been creatively restored and re-imagined as a stylish, multi-use space boasting rotating art exhibits, studios, businesses, and event spaces—all just an hour from Boston and less than ten minutes from MHT airport.
- Distinct vintage-industrial vibes are blended with chic modern touches in the dramatic Main Gallery, and continue throughout the adjacent spaces, which include a terrace, a cozy grotto, and an inviting lounge.
- There are sixteen unique, pet-friendly Airbnb units right on site, and guests can find plenty of entertainment throughout the property, like a craft distillery and comic book store—both of which also serve as great photo backdrops.
