This magnificent piece of architecture, built in 1883, is both a National and Virginia Landmark. It has served Richmond as a fire station, police station, museum, and art gallery. The lower level is currently occupied by the award-winning, not-for-profit Gallery 5. Gallery 5 is one of the top venues in the region for unconventional and progressive performance art series and is host to weekly visiting arts groups. Collaboration opportunities exist with Gallery 5 including opening your doors to First Friday crowds which would bring visibility to your business. Steamer Company No. 5 is ideally located in Historic Jackson Ward and the Arts District.
