The House

Richard Hugo House is a 16,206-square-foot Victorian house that dates to 1902. Before the organization bought it in August 1997, the house was the New City Theater, and before that the Bonney-Watson mortuary and funeral home. Originally, it was an apartment house. In addition to administrative offices, the House includes:

• an 88-seat theater (that can be reconfigured to hold 148);
• a café with a cabaret stage;
• a Member Library with computers;
• the 'Zine Archive and Publishing Project (facilities for independent magazine publishers);
• two multi-purpose rooms;
• a conference room;
• an art gallery.

There is adjoining parking for some two dozen cars. (See the directions page if you want to learn how to get here.)

Anyone interested may visit the House during regular hours (12 p.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Friday, or Noon-5 p.m. Saturday). If you would like a tour of the House, please schedule a time between 12 p.m.-6 p.m. weekdays. Contact us at welcome@hugohouse.org to make an appointment. Most of our spaces are available to rent for public and private events (which have ranged from theater productions to birthday parties).
