The Building

Holland MUD's 111 year old masonry structure, replete with super thin mortar joints, harks of a gilded craft that has long disappeared, but remains comfortably embedded within the fabric of this emerging urban Louisville neighborhood.

Sharing the city block with a restaurant, vintage retail, galleries, a non-profit mission and office studios, the new 15,000 square foot mixed use facility will house street fronting office/lounge and two multi-purpose event spaces on the ground floor, office studios on the upper two floors, and an indoor-outdoor courtyard toward the rear.
