History

Established in 2004.

The site was originally the home to a Convent and orphanage run by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart. The John Weisert Tobacco Company bought a leasehold interest in 1895, built and operated their tobacco business from the 1120 South Sixth Street address until the mid 1970’s.

The North Building, a classic heavy timber structure, was built in 1902 and housed the drying, stemming/​seeding and packaging operations. The South Building, a concrete mushroom capital columned building, was added in 1924 for warehouse space.

The building has been historically renovated and was added to the National Register of Historic places in 2004.
