Overview

The Canby Building is a historic, landmark property offering three expansive floors, each approximately 6,000 square feet, along with a full basement and a mezzanine. The building’s exterior and key improvements were updated in 2014, including a new roof, store front glass and doors, and upper floor windows, as well as extensive tuckpointing and repairs to the terra cotta tile. This combination of preserved historic character and modernized building components creates a ready platform for a range of commercial uses.

Located at 144 S Main Street in Bellefontaine, Ohio, the property sits at a strategic downtown corner of Main and Chillicothe. The listing notes the building is within walking distance of restaurants and specialty retail stores in the downtown business district.

With its multi-floor layout plus basement and mezzanine, the Canby Building can support businesses that need more than a single level, whether you’re planning for storefront operations with additional office or support space, or another commercial configuration that fits the existing footprint. For owners and investors, the building’s recent 2014 exterior updates may help reduce near-term capital concerns while you tailor the interior to your specific operating plan.
