Originally the Binswanger Glass Company factory, the building is an example of Modern-style architecture in Richmond. Binswanger & Company was founded in Richmond in 1879 by Samuel J. Binswanger. The company began as a builders’ and painters’ supplier and also carried a large stock of window glass, of which they were the distributors for the largest manufacturer in the world (1893) called Chambers & McKee Glass Company. The factory was later sold to the HandCraft Cleaners and was used as their corporate headquarters and cleaning facility.  Between the years 2008-2017 the cleaning facility was moved to South Richmond into a state of the art manufacturing facility. Currently, the building is being converted into a mixed-use structure with a footprint of +/- 90,000 SF including a new mezzanine.  The overall design intent was to modernize the infrastructure and access, while maintaining the original design as much as feasible.  Building upgrades include: new electrical systems, new plumbing system, new HVAC systems, new windows and doors.New tenants to date include: EvaTran ,The Fahrenheit Group, 510_Architects, Vasen Brewing, Hazen and Sawyer, Stellas Market, Smither & co, and Randstad.

When you arrive to the HandCraft building there is a parking lot at the corner of Moore St and Mactavish Ave that you will be able to park in. Street parking is also available.
The door will have a Historic Richmond Sign at 1501 Mactavish Ave (it is the door next to the Fahrenheit group) and that is where you will enter for Quoit Club.
