Functioning as a firehouse until 1987 when the building next-door burned down, Collette Parker Restoration has completed an amazing transformation into a lush garden courtyard, complete with a Greco-Roman folly, a mini-temple nestled in a setting of shade trees, limestone benches, fountain, birdbath and lots of flowers.

Next, Mary & Paul began the arduous task of transforming the site of the Courtyard Garden, the buildings that had burned down. It is believed that these buildings were Springfield's first Freight Depot where the arched openings that now open into the courtyard were originally where horse & buggy teams entered to pick up their freight from the trains just out back and exited onto Boonville to head north or south with their shipment.
Main Hall Rental Includes the entire downstairs and courtyard area.
Complete with baby grand piano from 1902, the same year Historic Firehouse No2 was built, a gallery area, a beautifully decorated gift closet, a sweet little DIY photobooth area, a buffet serving area featuring a 10' long antique counter, a beverage station, saloon area with keg cooler and refrigerated storage, two very large restrooms, one with baby-changing station and a spacious, efficient catering kitchen and recycling area in the back of the house.

Complete recycling program is included in pricing for all our events, no matter the size. We are very proud of Operation Green Team; REUSE, RECYCLE, REDUCE is the motto of our system, operating out of our catering area. Our team will remove and separate all glass, plastic, paper, cardboard and aluminum recyclables.
Garden Courtyard is perfect for outdoor weddings. The lush landscape features blooming flowers and shrubs all year round; Paul Parker takes pride in crafting a beautiful pastoral landscape in the center of this historic urban environment. He has made a perfect environment for a dramatic entrance by a bride soon to be joined by her new husband.
Select an Indoor Ceremony; We can bring your ceremony inside in a heartbeat if weather threatens or if temperatures make an exchange of vows in our beautiful courtyard garden. Look how beautiful our main hall can be with your colors and decor and how those massive Spanish Cedar double doors create the most beautiful backdrop for an untraditional foot washing.

As a local wedding photographer, I have had the opportunity to photograph several weddings at The Historic Firehouse. It is one of my favorite venues in the Springfield, MO area. The Firehouse is beautiful both inside & outside. There has been so much renovation done on Commercial Street and this venue is one of its many amazing spots.

We attended the open house. Building appears to be well maintained. Open house staff was friendly and warm towards are party. The tour was well detailed and gave us a good understanding of what the venue offers for weddings and parties. Second staff provided a good understanding of the finances and expectations of the venue.
