The upper floor is vacant, providing additional interior space within the existing structure. Forced-air heating, a rubber roof, and public water are in place.

Located at 425 River Street in Ontonagon, the property sits within the village’s business community near Lake Superior and the Ontonagon River. Its commercial zoning, established storefront configuration, and substantial upper-level area support a range of mixed-use concepts while retaining the building’s documented connection to the community’s commercial history.
