About PublicHouse
The building at 418 A Street is the former home of First Christian Church before being purchased in 2011 by NEDCO and turned into Sprout, a local food incubator. As that endeavor came to an end, PublicHouse was created so the building could continue to be a gathering space for the community – yet refashioned with an updated personality. In 2018, PublicHouse opened and is now a hub for food vendors, a beer hall, a whiskey bar, and an outdoor area for live entertainment – continuing to be a family-friendly place to gather.
