Year Built

1898

The bustling NAPA Auto Parts store located at 124 W Main Street has a vacant second floor. As one owner retires and the manager is looking to purchase the business and building, this brings opportunity for new investment in a mixed-use building, providing for business growth and efficiency apartments.  

 

The 1898 building features Italianate details in the brick cornice that give a nod to its beautiful history and opportunity to highlight these elements with façade restoration.  The active storefront will be renovated for accessibility and efficiency.    

 

Rental units are in high demand, and the location of two efficiency apartments will provide affordable housing within the immediate walkable and bikeable community.  The apartments have view of Main Street, as well as Edmunds Park and French Creek.  Located on the trail, near eateries and entertainment, this space is perfect for a young person’s first apartment. 

Preserving our past, building our future...
