About This Home
Own a piece of History! This is one of the oldest buildings in Downtown Dayton... our research dates it to 1865! It is one of few buildings to survive the 1913 flood and the massive fire on E. Third (also in 1913), the area is now called the "Fire Blocks District" There are many new and exciting developments in the area. Several new restaurants and remodeled apartment buildings make this mixed use building a great investment! Blueprints are available for this to be transformed into first floor commercial space with 4 potential apartments on floor 2 and 3. Or you could make 2 huge loft apartments .There is also a wide open basement. The second and third floors are basically untouched with lots of exposed brick and mechanical machines from previous businesses. This was a hardware store in the 1930s and 40s, and a tailor shop in the 1960s. Each level is approx 2000 sq ft. mostly open space. It will need all new mechanicals... utilities have been off several years. Building has been cleaned out with some demo already
completed. It is a blank slate with endless possibilities! Being sold as-is, buyer responsible for due due diligence with City zoning
offices etc. Must close with M&M Title Agency ( agent will explain why)) If you are looking for a cool building downtown to start a new business or grow an existing one this is the place! Downtown Dayton is HOT don't miss this opportunity , this block is up and coming! More pictures to come but you must see it to realize its potential!
