The Historic
Chattanooga, TN
The Historic is a 100-year-old, rustic event venue featuring exposed brick and double-height ceilings in Chattanooga’s Southside district. Having recently purchased the venue, the ownership desired to redesign ancillary spaces to provide guests with room to facilitate intention and connection.
The Tinker Ma Interiors team provided design services to transform the loft into a beautiful and comfortable space for more intimate pre-event gatherings. Luxurious, green velvet curtains allow guests to choose between opting for privacy or overlooking the expansive event space below. Matching draperies frame the arched window on the opposite wall highlighting views of the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo. A bridal suite adjacent to the loft provides brides with a separate, secluded space.
The team also converted the basement into Temperance, a speakeasy lounge. Featuring a full bar, dartboard, and shuffleboard room, the space is a perfect gathering place for more raucous members of the bridal party or a unique space for corporate and team gatherings. Masculine leather couches, vintage art, rugs, and accessories complement the existing cement floors and exposed stone and brick.
