Southside Preservation Hall
1519 Lipscomb St, Fort Worth, TX 76104, USA- Spaces for 175 Guests

The Rose Chapel includes an Indoor Chapel and Outdoor Courtyard in the wedding venue. A full-service wedding venue ready to host your perfect day! Indoor weddings in Rose Chapel and outdoor nuptials in our lovely courtyard are both possible. Stay and revel in the Grand Ballroom or the reception salon once you've tied the knot. A Brief History of the Rose Chapel and Southside Preservation Hall The former Central Methodist Church, built in 1911 at 1519 Lipscomb St., was formerly the spiritual home of many notable Fort Worth families around the turn of the century. The building has been threatened with demolition multiple times since the congregation relocated in 1969. The Panther Boys Club, a civic organization, purchased the facility in 1972 and transformed the church facilities into a gymnasium, boxing ring, and adolescent dance area. The chapel was not in use at the time. The property was then spared from demolition by the Southside Preservation Association, which was founded in 1996 by a determined group of preservationists. The Association, which is run entirely by volunteers and is a non profit organization, works to repair the facility's buildings and grounds, winning multiple community honors in the process. The magnificent, restored Rose Chapel, named after the Flower of Love, is always booked. The Southside Preservation Hall's adjoining rooms accommodate a diverse range of events, from corporate parties and wedding receptions to dances, classes, and performances that reflect the metroplex's diversity. The proceeds from these activities will go toward the property's continuing restoration and care in order to maintain its legacy.

Shula's Steak House was founded in 1989 by Don Shula, who expanded on his winning formula by opening the first Shula's Steak House location. He wished to serve the highest-quality steaks in a comfortable and welcoming environment. There is an ethos to excellence, and whether you're coaching an undefeated football team or grilling a porterhouse, we make it a point to live by it every day.
