Property Description

Have you been on the lookout for a major restoration project? Here is your chance! Located in downtown Golconda right next to the Ohio river where Decatur meets Market Street, the view from this lot is breathtaking. This two-story structure sits on a .20-acre corner lot with views of the Golconda Marina and Shawnee National Forest. This historical building is adjacent to the Sheriff’s office and is looking for someone to put the time and work into completely renovating or tearing down parts of the original structure for rebuilding. Structure is built with classical Italianate features reminiscent of the Ohio River Era. The architecture suggests it was built circa 1860s-1880s. There is a period addition from 1910 on the main floor that expands the original building, providing plenty of room for renovations. Although aged, this solid brick construction provides a great foundation for transformation into a historical residence, offices or mixed-use space for plenty of projects. Historical character is all around this building with distinctive bracketed cornice and segmented arch windows with brick voussoirs. With all its beauty may come some challenges, but this could be a restoration project of a lifetime for the passionate preservationist who values Southern Illinois history! Gutted interior meaning no power or water throughout the home which will require comprehensive renovation. This is your chance to preserve Golconda’s architectural heritage & restore a historic building!
