The Chattery Reopens Rossville Avenue Classroom Following 2024 Fire

from Chattanooga Fire Dept.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Chattery has officially returned to its original Rossville Avenue location following a 2024 fire that forced the organization to temporarily relocate.

The 2024 fire caused damage to The Chattery’s longtime home and disrupted the organization’s classes and events.

Over the past 16 months, The Chattery continued to serve the community in its Broad Street location and at various pop-up spaces in Chattanooga.

“This space has always been more than a building; it’s where people come to learn, connect, and feel a sense of belonging. Returning to Rossville Avenue is an emotional and meaningful milestone for us, and the community that helped make this possible.”

– Shawanda Mason, co-founder of The Chattery said.

The newly reopened space features refreshed classrooms and an updated kitchen.

The Chattery will have expanded capacity for workshops, meetings, and community events with the addition of offices, new conference rooms and an art supply thrift store, Mason continued.

Classes start on Monday, January 12, at 1800 Rossville Avenue, Suite 108.
