Have an upcoming wedding scheduled at the now-defunct Lindsay Street Hall? Call Tara Plumlee at The Catering Companies at 423-894-0115.
Lindsay Street Hall, a high-profile event and wedding venue in downtown Chattanooga, was sold to a new owner this week at a foreclosure auction on the courthouse steps because the former owner, who filed for bankruptcy in October, wasn’t paying the mortgage – which means about 10 couples will be out thousands of dollars they already paid for weddings.
“If I hadn’t been there [at the auction], the building would have been padlocked,” said Chattanooga businesswoman Tara Plumlee, who was the sole bidder for 901 Lindsay St., a former First Congregational Church that’s on the National Register of Historic Places.
Plumlee, who owns three other local event venues and a catering company, will rebrand the building as 901 Lindsay.
She said she spent Tuesday contacting couples who had prepaid for weddings with Kenneth E. Crisp Sr., the owner of the now-defunct Lindsay Street Hall.
