Based on property information with market context.
Built in 1914, this iconic Victorian mixed-use property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Humboldt County as the Mullady Building. The building includes a 1,955-square-foot commercial storefront featuring tall ceilings, an open main room, and a glass storefront with windows designed to bring in natural light. In addition to the storefront, there are five office spaces, a laundry room, and a handicap-accessible bathroom.
The commercial unit is accessed from downtown Ferndale, and the residential apartments are tucked down the alley and up the stairs. The one-bedroom, one-bath “Apartment with the View” has windows overlooking Main Street and includes updated kitchen and bathroom. The two-bedroom, one-bath apartment offers an open floor plan, tile kitchen floors, granite countertops, and a classic clawfoot tub that reflects the building’s historic character.
For tenants, buyers, or operators seeking a mixed-use setup, the layout supports day-to-day working and business use on the ground level with separate residential units upstairs. The combination of a storefront, multiple offices, and two apartments allows flexible occupancy while keeping the building’s historic identity intact.
