Frothy Monkey, a beloved all-day café, has brought new life to the historic Kress Building on Gay Street in Downtown Knoxville. This renovation blends modern amenities with the building’s rich history, creating a unique and inviting space for the community. The 3,000 square foot space required many structural upgrades, including a new mezzanine, new stairs, support beams, and penetrations to accommodate the HVAC and mechanical system updates.
