About this space
The 1896 Studios, Stages & Event Space – Cinematic Character, Modern Capability
Tucked into a quiet corner of Bushwick just 15 minutes from Manhattan, The 1896 is a fully gated historic complex offering over 12,000 sq ft of distinctive industrial space for film, photography, and immersive events. A certified QPF Level 1 film stage, The 1896 blends the cinematic soul of turn-of-the-century Brooklyn with the infrastructure today’s productions and experiences demand.
Originally built in the 19th century, our four interconnected brick warehouses feature hand-scenic’d textured walls (no two alike), soaring 30-ft ceilings, and a dramatic mix of natural light and moody patina. Whether you're planning a feature shoot, fashion editorial, live performance, or brand activation, The 1896 delivers scale, flexibility, and a raw visual edge that inspires.
Key features include:
Multiple shoot-ready stages & indoor/outdoor zones
Hair & makeup rooms, production offices, and a furnished loft apartment
2,500 sq ft private brick courtyard with balcony, fire escape & rooftop access
“NYC’s Sixth Alleyway” – a rare, textured drive-in alley perfect for gritty urban looks
Fully powered with Cam Lok, heat, A/C, easy street parking & ground-level load-in
On-site prop house (Primate Props), expendables, and EQ rentals available
Quiet enough for clean audio recording—no padded white walls needed
The 1896 is both a working production stage and a stunning canvas for curated events, exhibitions, and gatherings. We’ve hosted everything from fashion week installations and art shows to brand launches, immersive theater, and private celebrations.
In the industry since 2007, we’re proud to offer a space that’s as adaptable as it is atmospheric—with an experienced, production-savvy team ready to support your vision.
