Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Built in 1916 as the Murphysboro Elks Lodge, this historic property now operates as the Murphysboro Event Center, also identified locally as the “Old Elks Building.” The building includes a lounge, gaming machines, a full bar, a ballroom, and a renovated Great Hall, along with kitchens, lobbies, and an elevator.
The facility is positioned in downtown Murphysboro and is designed to support a wide range of programming, from smaller gatherings to grand receptions for up to 500 guests. In addition to the on-site event spaces, the offering includes a gaming facility and a leased building as part of the sale.
For tenants, operators, and buyers seeking a ready-to-run entertainment and event use, the combination of ballroom space, bar service setup, and gaming capability can simplify the transition into a diversified hospitality operation. The building’s layout and established event infrastructure can also support alternative concepts such as a banquet hall, performance venue, gallery or cultural center, or conference space, subject to applicable approvals. The sale further includes two turnkey businesses—two gaming parlors and two established event centers—located in Herrin and operating out of leased property.
