2009 Seminary Street, Alton, IL 62002

This offering features the historic former Western Military Academy campus, most recently operated as Mississippi Valley Christian School. The property includes three main buildings totaling classroom, administrative, meeting, dormitory-style accommodations, cafeteria space, gymnasium/recreation areas, and ample storage. The main administrative/classroom building is approximately 35,000 square feet over four floors, including a lower-level cafeteria and classrooms, with administrative offices, additional classrooms, and living areas on the upper floors. The gymnasium measures over 9,500 square feet and includes a stage, along with a newer roof. A barracks building of about 15,000 square feet is laid out dormitory style and is described as having good structural “bones” but needing major renovation. A third component is listed as dormitory-style accommodations and related campus rooms within the campus buildings described.

The property sits on nearly 39.3 acres, providing a campus setting with room for reconfiguration and redevelopment. The listing also notes easy access to major transportation routes.

With the appropriate zoning changes, the campus is positioned for a range of redevelopment concepts, including educational facilities, residential redevelopment, senior living, event venues, hospitality, religious organizations, corporate training centers, or mixed-use development. Prospective buyers and operators will want to review renovation scope, especially in the barracks building, while considering how the existing classroom and dormitory-style layouts can be adapted to the intended use.
