Warehouse Row: Then & Now Celebrating the past, looking toward the future: Warehouse Row comes of age
T
here’s something reassuring about an old building. Maybe it’s the good bones - the functional, sturdy, artisanal construction we don’t often find in today’s mass-produced culture. Or maybe it’s the sense of history, the idea that an old building has seen some things and survived. 1110 Market Street Chattanooga, TN 37402 423.267.1127
This is certainly the case with Chattanooga’s Warehouse Row. Built on Chattanooga’s Old Stone Fort
Civil War site, the very foundations of Warehouse Row are steeped in history. Yet, the buildings themselves, erected between 1904 and 1929 to house agricultural warehousing and distribution interests, are a testament to the forward-thinking of their post-industrial creators. Warehouse Row has always embodied a synergy between past and present, which still continues today. Continued pages 4-5

hether its called a neighborhood bar, the local pub or a public house, the idea remains the same. A public house is part of its community, a gathering place for folks looking for good food and drink.

Featuring seasonal, local produce, fish from Foley’s in Boston and great quality steaks, Public House is a great place for a homey, comforting meal.

ashville native Amanda Pinson recently relocated her unique jewelry shop to Warehouse Row.

onsidered state-of-the-art for their time, the original seven buildings of Warehouse Row (built 1904-1911) featured electric elevators and automatic fire extinguishers. Though the Great Depression crippled the agricultural interests housed in the historic buildings, Warehouse Row (which by this time included an eighth structure built in1929,) found a new vocation, housing a ship-building plant during World War II. This ebb and flow between boom times and slow times continued for Warehouse Row throughout the
1900’s. During the last half of the twentieth century, Warehouse Row changed hands many times. In 1989, the old buildings were re-purposed into a popular outlet concept. However, the outlet concept faded and by the turn of the millennium, the historic property once again found itself in need of new leadership. Enter international asset acquisition and management company, Jamestown. “Warehouse Row is a sound investment for Jamestown because of its central location in Chattanooga’s historic downtown area. We are
encouraged by the fact that our efforts at renovation are resonating with tenants,” said Michael Phillips, Creative Director for Jamestown. While most stores are accessible via street-level entrances, the property’s large interior atrium has been refashioned to cultivate a community atmosphere. Convenient parking, restaurants, fashion and design boutiques, art and a picnic area facilitate
“A nod toward the past, a leap into the future” the developing identity of the district. Today Warehouse Row, which still features original patterned brick work, stone work and cornice treatments, retains the character of its storied past while looking forward to a future filled with uncommon style and Chattanooga’s best dining, fashion, home furnishings, accessories, art and more.
