About The Theodore
Located in the heart of the historic Lakeview Industrial District, the Theodore at the Swann Chemical Laboratory is Birmingham’s newest historic event venue. Built in 1929, this Moderne-style building spans over 20,000 square feet and features exposed brick walls, barrel truss ceilings, and steel windows.
Featuring three warehouse bays and a covered porch and courtyard converted from an old railroad platform, The Theodore evokes the timeless grandeur of the Magic City’s roots as an epicenter for the industrial south. The meticulously-restored space is a versatile venue that can accommodate intimate gatherings as well as large gala events.
Let our team of experienced and dedicated event specialists bring your vision to life and make your next event historic.
