An event space in the Historic MLK Jr. District

We previously partnered with the Historic District Development Corporation to create a unique events and community gathering space.

HDDC was founded in 1980 by Coretta Scott King, Christine King Farris and John Cox, with an original goal of restoring the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic District to the proud, economically diverse and viable neighborhood it once was. HDDC has an unwavering commitment to equity, non-displacement, historic preservation and sustainability, making them an ideal and values-aligned partner for us at The Guild.

Adaptive re-use

The historic Haugabrooks Funeral Home on Auburn Avenue has a new life as a multipurpose event, studio and office space.

The Legacy of Haugabrooks

Mrs. Geneva Haugabrooks’ spirit of entrepreneurship and excellence is an invaluable part of the history and cultural heritage of the Sweet Auburn Corridor. In 1929 with just $300, Mrs. Haugabrooks established a multi-million-dollar company, Haugabrooks Funeral Home, that herself and her family operated for nearly a century.
