Building a Wonderful Space for the Montclair Community
Our mission is to rehabilitate the Montclair Firehouse into a small venue for visual and performing arts and a community meeting space. When completed, with all City permits issued, this building will have one large open Grand Hall (approximately 25' x 48'), with soaring, cathedral ceiling, 6 exit doors, and an adjoining room of approximately 520 SF with its own cathedral ceiling. The adjoining room will include handicap lift access, a staircase to the lower apparatus room/garage, two bathrooms & a "green room" for theatrical productions. A small, raised stage will be installed where the two rooms intersect, projecting out 3-1/2 feet into the Grand Hall.
Contemplated uses for the lower apparatus room/garage include storage for theatrical equipment and risers; possible artists' studio space; ???
