The Dirt Palace

The Dirt Palace at the Wedding Cake House was an ambitious restoration of the historic 514 Broadway property formerly occupied by the Tirocchi sisters and their couture design business. The purpose of the renovation was to expand the Dirt Palace offerings to include a project-based artist residency program for mid-career artists geared towards the intermingling of local, national, and international artists. The property also offers short-term rentals to arts, history, and preservation-oriented tourists. Ryan’s Historic Tax Credits team helped to secure state historic tax credits and state grant funds for the $1.3 million project.
