Velvet Legacy - Birdhouse, Inc. c. 1982 -- 2010. A unique venue founded and operated by musician and composer Fred Anderson. It was a stage for creative music and a meeting place for all.

This fan page honors Fred Anderson and his Velvet Lounge, which closed in November 2010. We continue to use it to post news, information, tributes and photographs related to the history of Fred, the little club that was his pride and joy and the universe of musicians and fans that are related to his life's work. We also share postings about Fred Anderson Park, which is named in his honor. https://www.facebook.com/fredandersonpark

MOTOR ROW & RECORD ROW
You can learn more about the area in which Fred had both his original and new Velvet Lounge(s). He knew this was an important district and that it was both where north meets south and in the path of progress.

Explore the Motor Row Historic District on one of the walking tours led by Glessner House docents this summer. Tours are offered on Saturday July 13, August 3, and September 14 from 10:00 to 11:30am. The district features nearly sixty of the original automobile showrooms built along South Michigan Avenue in the first decades of the 20th century, designed by such notable architects as Holabird & Roche, Philip Maher, and Albert Kahn.
