The Space
The Hawthorn
Historic Ambiance. Modern Amenities.
Constructed in the late 1800s, The Hawthorn is imbued with historic charm and industrial relics. As we reimagined the space, we kept its massive wooden beams, paned glass windows, and expansive red-brick walls, adding texture and elegance with sculptural brass light fixtures, luxe finishes, and velvet accents. To create a truly modern event venue, we added a full catering prep kitchen, a private host’s suite, and a statement-making 64-foot wraparound bar.
