Opening as a Gulf gas station in the 1930s which would later become a Volvo dealership in the 1950s, the Filming Station became an office, studio space, theater, and venue in 2014. Owner Demetria Kalodimos repurposed the building while maintaining its historical integrity. Awarded a Metro Historical Commission Preservation Award, Kalodimos preserved the original stucco building while building an addition made out of 20,000 bricks from a demolished warehouse next door. Kalodimos used Plywood theater seats from local a Masonic lodge and old chrome and car parts for door pulls, light fixtures and trim.
