MACHINERY HALL
The building located at 25 East Second Street that is home to the Pour House, was built in 1881 and named “Machinery Hall” by the original owners. When completed, Machinery Hall was used as an Implement Store selling farming and other equipment. The buildings architect designed the exterior to correspond with the building next door at 21 East Second Street.

In December 2016, a full renovation construction project began. The renovation took seven months. Numerous structural issues had to be addressed including replacing a wooden support beam with a new steel beam that supports the 2nd floor of the building. Additionally, the entire 100’ rear addition was demolished and rebuilt. The rebuilt addition now houses a modern commercial kitchen and stage for live entertainment/private dining, and features a 16’ glass garage door paying homage to the original door used to move machinery into the building. Great care was taken during the renovation to salvage the original history of the building.
TERRACE 27
In 2021 Machinery Hall was expanded to include the first ever rooftop terrace in the area. The space branded Terrace 27 opened for service in the spring of 2022, and features 60 seats for dining including a fire table lounge overlooking the Majestic Theatre Courtyard.
