This historic building, built in 1929 (zoned L2-Interdenominational Church with Missionary Emphasis), purchased in 1995, is now being rented for small venue concerts.
This church has embraced the idea of revenue (nonprofit) on the Colfax Corridor. I believe this venue has been used by sponsors like Swallow Hill Music Association and the Tattered Cover. It is a 500 seat auditorium. While I can't see huge name acts on the former playbill, it is just adjacent to the Lowenstein Theatre. The nearest venues from there are the Bluebird Theater.It would also appear that it is going to be the site of the Velvet Elvis Gospel Revival, which looks to certainly be an interesting act.
The interesting thing about this, is when it comes to space, it is very difficult to find space for anything. In articles and reviews, people are asking why the Church is not restricting use and access?
As the Colfax Corridor grows, they realize that with 5 theaters within 2 miles of each other, they should really 'cash' in on the arts culture along Colfax- with local artists, and a live venue that could be great for any kind of intimate arts atmosphere.
Real Estate value? Neo-urbanization is dependent on the arts, culture, and those who are willing to open their doors (and their hearts) to something people want. Colfax seems to be 'concert row.' It encompasses local acts, the odd, the strange, and the well-known. This is a great addition to Colfax, and I should tell you, also, that it is nearly across the street from the new Esplanade project, on the Church in the City site.
Thanks for reading!
