Goodbye cinder blocks and hello beautiful sliding glass garage doors at the ADS warehouse on Ann Street. There will be a variety of uses happening in this building but, this particular space will be the home of a future distillery. Located directly off the Liberty Street corridor and across the street from the Ann Street Gallery, the new uses for the ADS warehouse will be a welcome change to this once dormant building.
