Description
Step back in time with this unique downtown treasure! Built in 1940 and proudly operated as a barber shop for over 70 years, this 918 sq. ft. building is rich with local history and character. The front of the building, approximately 300 sq. ft., is where the barber shop once thrived—featuring original asphalt tile flooring installed to make long days easier on the feet, a handmade white pine bench crafted in 1950, and even the original 1920 sink still in use today. Walking inside truly feels like entering the mid-1900s, full of that home-town charm. In 2010, the property was honored as a local historic landmark, with a published article as told by James Henry Leatherman highlighting its story. The commemorative plaque still proudly remains on the building, a reminder of its special place in our community’s history. The middle section offers a concrete floor with a water heater, shower, water closet, and storage, all while maintaining its primitive atmosphere. In the back, a 1942 addition provides a dirt-floor storage space, waiting to be transformed into whatever a new owner envisions. This property is more than just a building—it’s a piece of downtown history ready for its next chapter. With its vintage charm, landmark status, and prime location, it’s longing to be reimagined as the perfect addition to our vibrant downtown area.
