Overview

This historic institutional building was originally constructed in 1900 and is offered for sale with an expansive footprint. The property includes approximately 14,001 square feet of building space and sits on a 0.55-acre site, with the parcel described as approximately 24,002 square feet. The layout and overall scale support a wide range of adaptive reuse and owner-occupant concepts, subject to approvals.

Located in an established Waukegan neighborhood, the property is positioned to serve surrounding residential and community needs. Access is supported by its convenient placement to major transportation routes and nearby public services and local businesses, while still maintaining a neighborhood presence.

For prospective tenants, buyers, or operators, the key advantage is flexibility created by the combination of substantial building size and available land. The site can potentially accommodate parking, outdoor amenities, gathering, and recreational uses, as well as future site enhancements, subject to municipal approval. Buyer should conduct independent due diligence regarding zoning, permitted uses, development possibilities, and future plans for the property.
