Description

This building is built like a fortress with insulated cement blocks and plenty of windows for light. The inside of the building is completely open with the exception of a 15'X15' office and a 10' X 6' bathroom. There is are large overhead doors on each end with pass doors along side . New roof five years ago, gas heat, well water, septic system, 2.6 acres of land and blacktop parking in front. This building, although in the middle of town, is actually in the county. Water and sewer are at the property line and the city will gladly annex if asked. This building was originally built as an auto body shop and then used as an auto sales and service annex for Galena Chrysler. It originally had three acres of land but the DOT purchased an unusable parcel for highway right away for the proposed road expansion. There is a multitude of uses for this property including retail, strip mall, hotel or restaurant. This is the highest visibility piece of land on highway 20 and would make a great investment. The property has Hwy 20 on one side, Gear St. with the city cemetery (quiet neighbors) on another side and a bank bordering another side. Neighbors include a hotel, a McDonalds, a shopping center, a church and a bank / Center of the Arts building. The owners have contracted to have the lot leveled to enhance the value and use. The building is currently leased to a non-profit animal rescue thrift store on a month to month basis.
