This remarkable property offers its new owner much more than just a colorful history! Expertly crafted in the early 1870s, you'll find little surprises leftover from the past around every corner. Throughout its nearly 10,000 square feet are 3 retail/service storefronts, a sharp ground level residence, and 4900 square feet of original charm upstairs where 8 apartments once were. There is plenty of gorgeous Chicago brick throughout the main & upper levels, gracing the property with unreplicable vintage flair. The new floor to ceiling replacement windows along 3rd Street capture the sparkle of the neighboring Star Bridge and all the festivities that happen along the street! There is an incredible basement built of 160 year old stone & brick, with glimpses into elevations long gone, where one could access these amazing lower levels right from the street! For you history buffs, some past occupants of these grand spaces in the 1800s were: H. Boutyette, dealer in "high-end/fancy groceries"; A. Bence! The Big Red Boot, crafting fine boots & shoes to order; A. Brawn, manufacturer of fine equestrian leathergoods; Edward T. French, produce dealer; and many pharmacists, engineers, & attorneys.
