If these walls could talk. 190 years of history inside this icon of downtown Alton. The possibilities for the future are limitless. Where can your imagination take this stately structure? Buildings like this have taken on a totally new life as art- dance studios, offices ,retail, school. As they say" this place has got good bones" but of course have your building inspection professional make that assessment. There is just over 3100 square feet of space to create your new dream, passion or vision, another 500+ in the attic space. Let your imagination wander, what can this space be used for? There is a full kitchen and two- 1/2 bathrooms. The basement is fully accessible, with a dirt floor, where you can see the beautiful stone foundation. Off street parking permit has gone through the process, with one space conditionally approved. The most recent use of this building has been for school and care for children.
