In 2003, The Brick House purchased the historical Turners Falls Fire House, located downtown at 24 Third St. After a series of building renovations, The Brick House opened our doors as Community Resource Center, offering space for any community organization, individual, or group wishing to host programs that support individual, family and community well-being. We have welcomed a wide array of programs and events that align with our mission.
This has been an amazing year for community events and programs at The Brick House! The Movement Studio has been used by local teachers to hold small, affordable classes in dance, children’s movement, yoga, therapeutic kickboxing, and other creative activities.
The spacious front room has been used for 30 concerts in the last year, as well as film screenings, parent council meetings, a mentorship program for young women, training for mediators, music and theatrical groups for adults with disabilities, and public events for children and families. The Brick House has also provided space for activist groups working towards transportation justice, racial justice, substance abuse prevention, and support for incarcerated adults. We have hosted free summer meals, a children’s summer camp, and much more!
These activities bring life and joy to The Brick House, and we are honored to provide space for the community to grow and learn together. If you’re looking for a space for an activity or event, get in touch with us to find out if the Brick House would be a good fit!
Both spaces may be rented at very affordable rates. To inquire about availability of either of our spaces contact use_our_space@brickhousecommunity.org.
