Based on property information with market context.

117 W Union Street in Morganton, NC is a two-story brick commercial building within the Downtown Historic District. The property presents a classic Italianate-style facade, with three two-over-two upper-level windows topped by connected segmental arches, along with a distinctive cornice and recessed panel above arcaded corbelling. The ground floor is leased commercially on a year-to-year basis. The upper level includes 17 offices and 4 bathrooms, which are not currently leased.

The building fronts West Union Street and is positioned in the heart of downtown, steps from shops, restaurants, offices, the historic courthouse square, and community events. The property is described as having commercial visibility consistent with its street frontage.
