Kress Terrace is a special event rental facility in the heart of downtown Greensboro. Our facility has been specifically designed to accommodate a full range of events, from business events to rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions. Kress Terrace is located on the fourth floor of the renowned S.H. Kress building, restored in 2000 to its original Art-Deco distinction.
