About Our Venue
BLDG39 at the Arsenal is a historic & industrial-style event space featuring a 2,600 square-foot open floor plan with indoor and outdoor capabilities that can host all of your event needs!
A seasonal 30×30 tent with string lights sits just beyond the venue’s large garage doors, and free parking is available for guests directly in front of the venue.
Built in 1917 during wartime, this property is tucked inside the stone confines of Frankford Arsenal. Initially, the building was used as a paint shop in a complex that specialized in producing munitions.
The space has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve the history that took place within its walls, offering a unique venue to create memories within.
Our maximum fully seated indoor capacity is 130 guests, and our casual standing reception-style indoor capacity is approximately 150 guests. The use of our outdoor space under the tent increases to approximately 175 guests total standing reception-style (venue + tent).
