What’s in a name?
At first glance, this coworking concept appears modern and innovative. However, utilizing a single building for the “exchange” of products, goods, and business really has historic roots.
19th century merchants and businessmen were stingy with their own money, but didn’t hesitate to splurge on buildings to conduct, well, business! These buildings were called “Exchanges” and contained offices for rent, dining rooms, and sometimes a hotel or library. They always featured a large room in which merchants could meet and make deals. (We even had two of these very buildings in Washington County, WI!)
With our personal and professional worlds becoming more and more digital, we wanted to provide a physical place where nonprofits, start-ups, and small businesses could easily access a network of people in real time, just as was done way back when.
What else is in the building?
Museum exhibits, research center and archive, collection storage, you name it! The 1889 Courthouse is more than a building. It’s our icon. Bringing life into the building supports our ongoing mission of preserving this site for generations to come.
