RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a beautifully preserved 132-year-old historic landmark. Built in 1893 by the Mesker Brothers Iron Works of St.Louis, this building is ideally located along Main Street in Keokuk, Iowa, and retains many original architectural details including its vintage floors, ornate tin ceilings, and decorative wall paneling. The main level features three retail storefronts (712, 714, and 716), with the pet supply shop in 712 providing income-producing tenancy. The popular pizza restaurant and Joystick Arcade boast excellent reviews and a loyal customer base. Upstairs, the second level offers a versatile open space brimming with historic charm, ideal for apartments, studios, or offices. Tall 14' ceilings, expansive windows, and abundant natural light make it perfect for redevelopment. Recent improvements include a complete sewer line replacement, updated plumbing, basement tuckpoint, six new Mister Cool mini-split A/C units, a new flat roof coating (2023), and two upgraded 100-amp electrical panels serving both floors. With ample street and rear parking, plus grant opportunities for downtown and historic preservation, this well-maintained property presents a prime investment opportunity for developers and investors alike.
