    Overview

    This historic restaurant property, currently operating as The Old Courtableau Cafe, is housed in a building recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure features original antique pier-and-beam construction dating to the early 1800s and includes distinctive antique “wavy glass” window panes facing Main Street. The property was renovated in 2017, preserving its historic character while adding modern amenities. The main building totals 3,882 square feet on a 0.28-acre lot, with an unfinished second floor that may allow for future expansion. The sale excludes furniture, fixtures, and equipment; however, those items are stated as negotiable with an acceptable offer.

    Situated at 104 N Main Street in Washington, Louisiana, the cafe is positioned at the central intersection of Main Street and West Moundville, providing visibility to passing traffic in the historic area. The offering includes the building and operating concept as a restaurant destination, with the business described as featuring home-cooked meals and live music.

    For an owner-operator or hospitality buyer, this is a turn-key opportunity to acquire a renovated, income-producing restaurant building rooted in historic preservation. The combination of preserved architectural features and the available unfinished second-floor area supports a range of practical in-place uses within a commercial zoning setting, subject to applicable requirements. This property is offered for sale with the option to negotiate restaurant-specific furnishings, fixtures, and equipment.
