The Historic Planters Building
The Historic Planters Building, constructed in 1903 by Planters Mercantile Company, has served the Woodville community for over 100 years as a mercantile, hardware store, gift shop, and cafe. In 2019, Gather LLC purchased the building to preserve its history and its place in the community.
Available now for rentals, 4,000 square feet of first-floor event space in Planters showcases exposed brick walls, rustic hardwood floors, a front wall full of windows, and a 16-foot beaded-wood ceiling. An additional 2,000 square feet serves as kitchen/prep area, restrooms, and office space.
A wide, mahogany-stained staircase leads to the mezzanine level. The mezzanine is a more intimate space with a 7-foot ceiling and just over 1,800 square feet overlooking the first floor. 1,000 square feet of the mezzanine is available for events beginning January 2021.
The upper floor was once filled with all types of furniture and later used as storage space. A double staircase leads to the 5,500-square-foot space wrapped in plaster walls and 24 floor-to-ceiling windows. The 12-foot ceiling once opened to a skylight that served the entire building before electric lights were installed. Ask to have a peek at this magical space!
