This five-story cornerstone building includes a bar/restaurant area on the first floor, with second-floor space designed for private parties and a private bar plus commercial kitchen. The property was improved with $2.1 million in infrastructure, including new sewer, electric, water, and gas systems, and it features crafted woodwork in the original first-floor bar area. A full commercial kitchen was added in 2006, with a custom-built bar added on the second floor in 2012. Floors three through five are ready for development, and blueprint plans for apartments are available by request.
