Paris on Ponce event space to reopen inside Healey Building

Paris on Ponce, partially destroyed in a Thanksgiving eve fire, has announced it will reopen the event space, La Maison Rouge, in a new home at the historic Healey Building in Downtown.

The announcement was made in a post on the Paris on Ponce Instagram page, and La Maison Rouge was expected to open on March 1. The 9,000 square foot event space at 57 Forsyth Street will have a French boudoir and artistic theme similar to the original. The space will be available to host weddings, parties and other events.

Paris on Ponce, known for its eclectic selection of artist studios and vintage shops on the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail, has been a mainstay in Virginia-Highland for more than 25 years. A fundraiser is still ongoing to save the building at GoFundMe and, at press time, more than $19,000 had been raised.

The cause of the fire has yet to be disclosed.
