Introducing: Mae District

Mae District (formerly known as 19 East) is a historic yet contemporary event space located in Chicago's Motor Row District. With timeless features like original steal beams, herringbone wood floors, and terrazzo tile, the beauty of the Mae District story is that it becomes a piece of yours. Find us online at Mae District on Facebook or www.maedistrict.com.

Hereโ€™s the story...

The building at 19 East 21st Street has a long, storied past that spans over a century. Constructed in the late 1800's, it was later occupied by Al Capone and his cronies, who used the upstairs floor as a shooting range for target practice and hosted secret underground tunnels used to transport alcohol during Prohibition.

โ€‹Mae was Capone's wife as well as his muse. She and their son, Albert Francis "Sonny" Capone, often stayed at the nearby Lexington Hotel while Al operated out of our building. Known for the loyalty and compassion that were paramount to her character, it is Mae's legacy that continues to inspire what we know today as Mae District.
