From 1888 to Present Day…
36 West main Street has always been in the center of all the happenings in the small town of Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania.
Constructed in 1888 as First National Bank, and then evolving into the town’s Municipal Building even hosting holding cells in the basement, our building at 36 W. Main has lived many lives. Visually standing out with it’s brownstone facade, marble thresholds, and beautiful arched windows; 36 W. Main is a stunning example of historic architectural details.
Today it houses a coffee house on the first floor, and the second floor is home to Creative Grounds Studio.
Our Mission…

From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we offer a range of choices to suit your vision and budget. Planning an event can sometimes be stressful, our goal is to help by providing a unique venue for all occasions.
