The Space
Find Beauty All Over Again
The Rumely Lower Level is a testament to the art of preservation — a space where warm historic accents and original architecture meet modern flexibility. With glittering chandeliers casting golden light across exposed brick walls and beautiful original hardwood floors, this space carries a timeless elegance that no new construction could replicate.
Connected to the Upper Level by the building's signature chandelier freight elevator and a graceful stairwell, the Lower Level functions as a fully independent venue or as an extension of a larger event across both floors. It has served as a wedding chapel, a cocktail hour space, an intimate reception hall, and a rehearsal dinner venue — adapting beautifully to every occasion it hosts.
Steps from the iconic 12th Street Bridge, the Lower Level offers guests a dramatic restored historic entrance that sets the tone before they've even walked through the door.
