The Machine Shop is the crown jewel of Sault Ste. Marie’s historic Mill Square. Originally a central part of the St. Marys Paper Mill built in the late 1800s, this stunning sandstone structure has been meticulously restored into a multi-purpose destination that blends industrial grit with modern elegance. It serves as the city’s premier event and wedding venue, boasting soaring ceilings, original timber beams, and a state-of-the-art performance space that hosts international concert tours and local festivals.
Beyond its role as an event hub, The Machine Shop is a culinary destination. It is home to The Mill Steakhouse + Wine Bar, offering a sophisticated dining experience, and The Boiler Room, known for its authentic wood-fired pizzas and casual atmosphere. Located steps away from the Agawa Canyon Tour Train station and the Hub Trail, The Machine Shop is more than just a building—it is a symbol of Sault Ste. Marie’s cultural rebirth. For those looking to move to the area, it represents the high quality of life and vibrant social scene available in the Algoma District.
