Event Venue/Wedding Venue, Short & Long Term Apartment Rentals, Craft Cocktail Lounge & coming soon: The Mather Tap Room!
There's a certain magic to old buildings - the kind that have seen generations come and go, where laughter has echoed off grand walls, and where music lingers long after the last note fades. Standing proudly in the heart of Ishpeming, the Mather is one of those places.
Built in 1031, this Georgian Revival landmark has been a silent witness to love stories, grand gatherings, and even a brush with Hollywood. If the walls could talk, they'd tell you about the summer of 1959, when Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick wandered these halls during the filming of Anatomy of a Murder. They'd hum the melodies of Duke Ellington, who sat at a piano inside The Mather, composing a score that would become legendary and whisper about the miners, business tycoons, and travelers.
