Since 1922.

The Andes Garage is our personal restoration project — a 6,000 square foot building in the heart of the village of Andes, NY, originally built in 1922 and backing onto the Tremperkill River. We’ve spent the last few years thoughtfully bringing it back to life, preserving its industrial bones while adding warmth, craft, and a sense of place.

Built in 1922 as one of the region’s earliest service garages, the building features a 45 × 60 ft open-span hall supported by rare cast-iron trusses. Its stone walls, early concrete slab, and industrial proportions make it a remarkably intact example of early American motor-era architecture.

Once a working garage, the space now opens its doors to weddings, dinners, and one-of-a-kind celebrations. With tall ceilings, raw textures, and light pouring through vintage windows, it’s a space that feels grounded in the past but designed for modern gatherings.

The venue includes indoor and outdoor areas, flexible layouts, and a full suite of amenities. We also run several creative businesses on-site — a vintage design showroom, a grocery and café, and a soon-to-open community woodshop — making The Andes Garage more than just a venue. It’s part of a living, breathing project to bring new energy to a small Catskills town.
