A “cool old building” in downtown Loveland has taken on the latest in a long line of identities with its recent launch as The Gressiwick.
The two-story brick commercial structure at 426 N. Lincoln Ave., combines the names of its owners and their passions.
“It’s my photo studio by day and event space and concert space by night,” said portrait photographer Christina Gressianu. She and her husband, musician Vi Wickam, have opened up the main floor of the building for use as an event venue, and Wickam teaches private fiddle lessons there.
With a temporary certificate of occupancy from the city in hand, they have scheduled their first event, a whiskey and jazz Mother’s Day brunch May 12.
“I’m from New York. Mother’s Day was a big thing there,” Gressianu said. “There would be these amazing, spectacular brunches like you’d see on a cruise.”
For The Gressiwick’s inaugural event, “the caterer is going all out,” she said. The buffet will feature a carving station with meats, lobster and salmon; a dessert spread with blackberry cheesecake flambé and tableside ice cream; craft cocktails and more, she said.
