Historic Event Venue The Theodore Hits Market in Lakeview
A significant historic landmark in Birmingham’s Lakeview district has recently been put up for sale or lease. Known as The Theodore, this property is located at 3211 2nd Avenue South and was once a thriving event venue before closing its doors due to pandemic-related financial challenges in 2020.
Originally built in 1929 for Swann & Co., a pharmaceutical research company, The Theodore underwent a transformation in the late 2010s, emerging as a sought-after space for weddings, corporate events, and parties. The venue boasts striking features including three expansive brick-lined warehouse bays, high ceilings, and industrial design elements.
The property covers 19,000 square feet of interior space, supplemented by a 3,000-square-foot porch and courtyard. Its recent renovations include a completely refurbished interior, a new roof, upgraded HVAC systems, modern restrooms, a catering kitchen, and large ceiling fans, all set within a stylish environment. Additional amenities include dock-high loading facilities and a reliable galvanized standing seam metal roof.
Listed by Harbert Realty Services, The Theodore presents a prime opportunity for new ownership or lease, inviting speculation on its next chapter. Local community members are encouraged to share their visions for the space by tagging @bhamnow on social media. As interest builds, the future of this historic venue remains a focal point in Birmingham.
