This building on the county square has the bones of an earlier era--open ground-floor volume, stout masonry, and a freight elevator designed to lift automobiles to the second floor. The elevator is still there. It is still manual. It still works. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are newer. The upstairs is ready to renovate or can serve as is for storage. The ground floor last operated as a coffee shop and still reads as a public room: high ceilings, street-facing glass, and the kind of presence that makes people walk in. It can remain hospitality, become a gallery, a shop, offices, or the living room of a live-work residence. The expensive, invisible work is finished. The savvy buyer is not inheriting a romantic ruin; but rather a historic shell that already meets modern systems standards.
