Originally built in 1903, at the height of Stratford’s booming furniture industry, the Globe Wernike Company, a manufacturer of office furniture was a perfect fit for Stratford. The company produced “elastic bookcases”, a cutting edge modular furniture design ahead of its time, and had, at one point, captured seventy-five per cent of the Canadian market for bookcases. Factory 163 is now the space to create! A collaborative community in a mixed-use arts facility, this warehouse will become the venue for various eclectic musical experiences throughout our summer season. Assigned seating. Accessible washrooms. Parking on site. Cash bar.
