The weekend is here, and in our Let’s Go NEO series, News 5 focuses on fun things to do, and the places and people making them memorable.
There is an event space on Cleveland’s west side with plans to keep the community events rolling.
The building that sits at 5400 Detroit Avenue has a rich history in the vibrant Gordon Square Arts District.
“It’s just over 100 years old; built originally in 1918 as a furniture factory and showroom for Banks Furniture,” said Abra Said.
Said is the marketing coordinator for Gordon Green Events, the company that now owns the historic building that had sat vacant for many years.
It is called Gordon Green. They stripped the building back to its original grandeur inside, and they’ve operated it as an events space since 2020, mostly hosting weddings.
“Yes, we do a lot of weddings,” said Said. “We do anywhere from 75 to 80 a year.”
However, before wedding season picks back up this year, they’re transforming the dance floor into a roller rink!
She said it’s something they’ve wanted to do for three years.
