Spirit Mountain Artworks is a National Historic Site featuring upstairs living quarters. The 1430 square foot property has undergone numerous upgrades from 1978 to the present. It is a False Front Building with side stair access to the living quarters. The exterior has recently been refinished with solid stain, and the exterior stairway is now covered. An interior stairway is also available. The property includes hardwired CO detectors, 24 circuit wiring designed by an electrical engineer, and track lighting in both the shop and the home. Double pane windows with thermal shutters, Toyo (oil) and wood stoves, commercial grade drywall (5/8"), and 12" R40 insulation are present. A positive pressure heat exchange ventilation system with humidistat helps protect the artwork. The retail area and large workshop/studio/outfitting space behind it feature 12-foot ceilings. Internet and telephone are available via fiber optic. Additional wiring for a bathroom, floor outlets, and kitchen venting has been installed in anticipation of increased community capacity and development. There is an additional loft office/workspace in addition to the workshop/studio space. A new "cold" roof (corrugated, galvanized metal) and 6 ft. basement/crawl space treated wood foundation were included in the original rehab. The property also features assorted artifacts, gallery inventory, cases and displays, new and salvaged lumber, mailing lists, software, and other business and maintenance related tools/items included in the price. Historic Register Nomination and Preservation Plan documentation is available, including architectural, electrical, and soils engineering plans. This property is perfect for continuing or creating a legacy.
