Our Story: A Journey Through Time

A Lumber Legacy

The Maola at Riverside was originally home to the Roper Lumber Company, North Carolina's largest lumber mill from the late 1800s to the 1930s.

A New Beginning

Post-Great Depression, the site was transformed into facilities for repairing dairy trucks by Maola, preserving its industrial heritage.

A Modern Revival

Now, the transformation continues, this historic venue spans 20,000 square feet, featuring 24-foot ceilings, weathered brick walls, and spaces with cedar-lined and greenery-adorned walls. We continually update our spaces, ensuring there’s always something new to discover with each event.
