Party in a Silo? Frisco, Texas, Says Maybe Yes
Every event planner wants a dramatic venue, and the city council in Frisco, Texas, is thinking about converting the historic silos located downtown into a combination restaurant and event venue.
The proposal outlined in city staff memo has the set of large white concrete silos being converted into a restaurant and rooftop lounge. The two metal silos could also potentially be converted into a multi-purpose facility for weddings, reunions or parties, but their use is not required as part of the deal. According to the Heritage Association of Frisco, the grain storage buildings were believed to have been built in the late 1940s or early 1950s. “They stand as a reminder of Frisco’s roots as a farming community."
