This building sits on a corner lot on the historic town square, which is listed on the National Historic Register. It has a great view of the town square park.
This 15,000 sq. ft. building was completed in 1947. It was built as a department store on the 5,000 sq. ft. first floor, five 2-bedroom apartments on the 5,000 sq. ft. second floor, and a full 5,000 sq. ft. (dry) concrete basement. It features steel I-beam construction and a brick exterior, with oak floors throughout. It has two furnaces (2017) and two A/C units (2017) that cover the first floor. There is a second street entrance with a staircase that leads up to the second floor. In the 1980’s, the front apartment on the second floor was converted to dentist office utilizing the second street entrance.
The department store closed in the 1980’s and there have been various owners over the years. The second-floor apartments don’t exist any longer, and each one is in various stages of demolition and disrepair due to water damage (since addressed with new roof in 2017). The second floor has since been found structurally sound by a state structural engineer. Interior walls and fixtures of each apartment are gone. The dentist’s office is the most intact, but it sustained a lot of damage and disrepair also.
The roof was replaced in 2017 by the previous owners, and they also installed the two new furnaces and A/C units that same year. We assume the hot water tanks were upgraded at the same time.
