History
Venable was originally a warehouse for the Venable Tobacco Co., a company that was organized in 1907 as the Durham subsidiary of the Dibrell Brothers tobacco business of Danville, Va. Dibrell dried raw tobacco for shipment to manufacturers worldwide in these brick buildings. The site has a rich history as an arts incubator, with spaces formerly leased for studios and a theater company.
