EAST DURHAM
LET’S CELEBRATE!
Honoring History. Creating Memories
Built in 1905, the two-story structure that Garland Hall calls home was the center of the original business/church district of East Durham.
Our loft housed various different businesses and organizations throughout it’s 118 year existence. Once home to Durham Cotton Manufacturing Co offices, the Salvation Army, and lastly it’s namesake, Garland Woodcraft, our loft and building has been the heart and soul of the community of East Durham.
Now in 2023, we are excited to bring new life into this building by providing an event space just for the community. Along with our neighbors, Mike D’s BBQ, Congress Bar, and Proximity Brewing, we are committed to building community and celebrating all the great things about East Durham.
