THE 405 HOTEL
and other spaces.....
This structure is located at 101 E Sheridan which is at the heart of Bricktown in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This 82,000 square foot structure is a city staple and was once the pride of Bricktown. It was built in 1910 as a furniture factory until the first floor functioned for The Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant for 27 years. Now, this structure will serve as a gathering spot for locals and tourists with its boutique hotel, eatery, gallery and exhibition space.
