Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Turn-of-the-century historic commercial building offering two storefronts seamlessly connected into one interior space. The property has approximately 2,640 square feet upstairs and 2,640 square feet downstairs. Behind the building, there is an area before the alley that allows room for an addition, parking, or a large patio. A lot across the alley provides space for a carport, storage facility, or additional parking. The building has been fully cleaned out and is demo-ready.
Located on the downtown square in Old Town Rusk, Texas, the exterior has been completely remodeled. Improvements include reframed and repaired upstairs window openings, repointed brick mortar, freshly caulked, primed, and painted brick, as well as new awnings, gutters, parapet wall metal coping, and upstairs vinyl windows with screens.
The space is described as highly flexible and can remain entirely commercial. With a special use permit, residential conversion is also possible upstairs, with each unit required to be a minimum of 375 square feet. A newly passed city ordinance in March 2025 removes the requirement for fire suppression between floors in buildings on the Rusk square, helping preserve original hardwood floors upstairs and ceiling tiles downstairs, with restaurants still required to arrange additional fire suppression details with the City and County Health Department.
