ect Ligon Flynn purchased the building in the 19
80's and redesigned it into a contemporary urban garden and office space. After his death in 2010, the garden was discovered by two local wedding professionals who fell instantly in love with the site. In spring of 2011, they acquired the space and have now opened it for wedding ceremonies. The garden is located on second street in the block between Market and Dock. It is one of Wilmington's few contemporary courtyard gardens. Ligon Flynn centered his design on the intersection of people and nature, and that philosophy remains apparent in the Atrium today. The area is filled with natural elements, local foliage, climbing vines, brick masonry, and water combined with the clean lines of modern architecture. The space has a magical quality and has been called "an open-air cathedral,"a hidden treasure,"and "Wilmington's secret garden." Maintaining Ligon's philosophy that humans should be touched by breeze, light, air, and earth, it only seems appropriate that his space be used for one of the most significant moments in a lifetime. The Atrium is currently available for wedding ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners and cocktail parties. Other events, such as concerts, benefits, and private events should inquire about availability.
