HIP at the Flashlight Factory is a historic industrial venue located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This unique destination was built in 1887, starting its life as a stamping factory for various automotive and train parts. From the 1920s until the early 2000s, Hipwell’s patented single-cell battery and flashlight were manufactured within the factory, providing a sustained success for many decades. Following a brief period of non-use, Elaine Stone and Mitchell Schwartz purchased the factory in 2010. They endeavored to create a space that catered to business and events using their ample experience in refurbishing warehouse loft buildings throughout the city. This duo is diligent in their preservation, making use of what the building has to offer and turning it into an unforgettable showpiece. Nodding to the past while keeping an eye focused on the future, this team is proud to present HIP at the Flashlight Factory to betrothed couples for their exciting wedding event.
