Rental Information

Old Fire Hall No. 2

Note: Beginning July 1, 2025, Historic Athens will sunset its rental program. We will no longer be accepting rental reservations for dates beyond that point.

The team at Historic Athens is fortunate to call the Old Fire Hall No. 2 their home. Walking into a beautiful, brick fire hall nestled in Athens' historic Cobbham neighborhood makes work feel like, well, not so much like work. 

The Old Fire Hall No. 2, built in 1901, is a restored Victorian Romanesque flatiron building with a spacious and unique ground level. The former fire engine garage has been developed into a meeting and events facility. This versatile venue is ideal for business meetings, pop-up events and markets, exhibitions, community events, intimate concerts, and private receptions, such as birthday parties, bridal showers, or weddings. The events space is equipped with a small kitchenette and has a 75 person capacity.

We invite you to take advantage of this charming site located on the intersection of Prince Avenue and Hill Street, adjacent to Downtown Athens. For members and non-members alike, our rental prices are competitive and affordable.
