Description
This building is located in the heart of historic downtown Fort Scott, right on Main Street. 23 S Main is a massive space, boasting 24,000 SF comprised of a full finished basement, and 3 above-ground stories, with each individual level spanning 6,000 SF. Originally home to J.C. Penney Company, this solid brick structure is currently utilized for retail space in the lower two floors. The upper two floors have not been occupied for some time, but they offer spacious rooms with soaring tall ceilings, massive picture windows, handsome solid wood moldings, and an impressive grand ballroom - all of which offer an amazing restoration opportunity for someone who desires to bring this iconic space back to a useful life. Many investments have been made to update this building in recent years, some of which include: new roof, new HVAC, new waterlines, and asbestos abatement in 2013 (23 S Main), and new roof (2013), new HVAC (2017), new sewer lines and sump pumps (2016), and updated electrical (2016) on 19 S Main. Very few buildings are available in the downtown district - purchase one or both of these pieces of history so you do not miss this opportunity to be a part of the vibrant resurgence of downtown Fort Scott.
