Located in a beautifully restored 1894 building in the heart of downtown Buford,

55 Scott blends historic charm with modern elegance to create a one-of-a-kind event venue. It captures the authenticity of historic Buford in a style that is fresh, unique, and versatile, all while paying homage to the rich history of the community. Whether you’re planning something intimate or grand, 55 Scott offers the perfect space to bring your vision to life.

Originally built as a church, the building has survived many eras of Buford’s history — it has served as an Oldsmobile dealership, auto parts store, and several other small businesses over the years. Today, 55 Scott stands as a testament to Buford’s evolving spirit, thoughtfully reimagined as an event space that honors the past while embracing the present.

Inside, the venue’s character speaks for itself. It has been preserved and refurbished to maintain its historical significance and structural integrity. Exposed brick walls, original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, curved hinge doors, and ceilings crafted from the building’s own recycled wood create an atmosphere that is warm and distinctive. Even the original altar remains — a subtle yet powerful symbol of the building’s enduring legacy that differentiates it from other local event venues.

With an open, flexible layout and space to accommodate up to 150 guests, 55 Scott is designed to adapt to your needs. Whether hosting a wedding, family reunion, business function, graduation party, holiday celebration, or charity event, the space offers a seamless planning experience with trusted vendors, caterers, and designers ready to bring every detail to life.

At its core, 55 Scott reflects the owners’ vision to maintain an integral piece of Buford’s history in a way that also provides a service to the community; both of which are evident upon entering this establishment. Every event, no matter how big or small, becomes a part of the building’s history. So, step back in time and bring your vision to life at 55 Scott.
