A historic building in downtown Seguin is preparing to be opened as a new venue in the heart of the city.

Freddie Leos, owner of the buildings that house Traveling Gypsy and the Warehouse, has renovated the back half of the antiques store into a venue for gatherings, parties, weddings and more.

Along with his partner Denise Marie, the pair created Soel Venue, 112 W. Dongean St.

“When we redid this section of the building, I always pictured something like that here,” Leos said. “It is a big space. The only other thing that I saw it being was some sort of a restaurant at the beginning.”

“When we were clearing it out, we talked about what we could do,” Marie said. “He’s always wanted to do something like this.”

The entrance on Donegan Street opens to a small, cocktail area that is a little more than 2,000 square feet. At the back of the room sits a bar and a hedge wall for guests to use for selfies or other photos, Marie said.
