Located at 1101 East 16th Street in the historic Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood of Indianapolis. A building with a rich history dating back to the late 1880s-1890s, originally occupied by the Bank Furniture Company, playing a significant role in the area's development. In 1915, it was acquired by the Wiegel Cabinet Company, benefiting from its proximity to the Monon Railroad for lumber transport. Underwent various transformations, including use as a headquarters for different organizations in the 1980s. In the mid-1980s, the building was left abandoned, awaiting revitalization. In the 1990s, it housed recycling companies, evidenced by tall blue letters on its north side, reflecting its industrial past. In 2003, the building was purchased by Tinker Development Corporation and christened Tinker Flats in homage to the Tinker family, prominent landowners in the area during the mid-1800s. Notably, the area was home to the famous Hoosier artist T.C. Steele, who resided at the Tinker family homestead for a period. This historical context adds depth and character to the location, making it a compelling choice for events at Tinker House Events.-Triple net lease, offered at $25 per square foot
