Rental Information

Old Fire Hall No. 2

The team at Historic Athens is fortunate to call the Old Fire Hall No. 2 their home. Walking into a beautiful, brick fire hall nestled in Athens' historic Cobbham neighborhood makes work feel like, well, not so much like work. 

The Old Fire Hall No. 2, built in 1901, is a restored Victorian Romanesque flatiron building with a spacious and unique ground level. The former fire engine garage has been developed into a meeting and events facility. This versatile venue is ideal for business meetings, pop-up events and markets, exhibitions, community events, intimate concerts, and private receptions, such as birthday parties, bridal showers, or weddings. The events space is equipped with a small kitchenette and has a 75 person capacity.

We invite you to take advantage of this charming site located on the intersection of Prince Avenue and Hill Street, adjacent to Downtown Athens. For members and non-members alike, our rental prices are competitive and affordable.
