In the summer of 2004 the Department of Neighborhood Development published application guidelines for the Engine Company 40 Firehouse.
ZUMIX worked with the East Boston Community Development Corporation to present a very competitive proposal. In May of 2005 we were awarded the building.
The Engine Company 40 Firehouse offers a very special opportunity - the potential to transform a long-abandoned building into a beautiful,
functional, and inspiring cultural and performance space for ZUMIX programs, our young participants, and the East Boston community at large.
CAPACITY
This 1923 brick building is ideally located one block from East Boston's Maverick Square at 260 Sumner Street and includes approximately
9,000 gross square feet of unfinished space. On the first floor, the fourteen-foot-high ceiling and open floor plan unobstructed by columns
or bearing walls are perfect for a state-of-the-art performance space. The basement and second level can be renovated for classroom,
office, meeting, practice, recording, production, and exhibition space.
COST/CAMPAIGN
We have raised over $1.9 million of our $4.1 million dollar goal. Please help us reach our goal by
donating here!
After extensive renovations we will move our operations to this beautiful new facility.
