A Storied Room With Room for Anything

About the Studios

Located inside the original automobile route buildings on capitol hill, built from 1919 through 1926 and lovingly refurbished as part of the Melrose Market. Below street level, the market area was converted into an event space.

This provides a space that is raw and urban yet has all the tools necessary for an error-free event including dimmable cafe lighting, central audio/visual system, forced-air heat and cool systems, ample electrical outlets, and a dedicated catering kitchen.
