Counterpublic’s offices are located in a historic home in the Grand Center Arts District, home to over 30 renowned arts and culture organizations and educational institutions. The office does not currently have open hours, but will host gatherings and events beginning with the 2026 exhibition.

The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and was built in 1892 by Jane “Jennie” Walker Eakin and her husband Frederick Newton Judson. It’s been a private residence and dental supply company. Most recently, it was the home of builder and artist Stanley Jones, who restored the building and lived there for several decades.
