About the Harris Building and Events. 

The Harris Building, with its rich history and architectural character, has been an icon in the Heartside District for over a century. Built in 1892, the Harris Building was first home to the secret fraternal organization, The Knights of Pythias. Following in 1909, the building became home to The Harris Sample Furniture Company, which operated until closing its doors in 1969. In the late-2000s, The Harris Building transformed into a treasured building for ArtPrize, and most recently in 2018, became a beautiful, and unique event venue.

With 18-foot, open-beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, and natural hardwood floors; The Harris Building is the perfect backdrop for saying “I Do”.
