Built in the 1840s, this amazing building has lived many lives including a granary, warehouse, auto repair shop, metal shop, wine tasting room and several restaurants.  Now it can be yours - what will you do with it?

Entering Galena's Main Street, the first building you come to as you pass through the iconic flood gates is 515 South Main.  A city parking lot is adjacent to the building, and there is ample parking on two sides of Main and the levee side of Water Street.  The parking lots on the left are an ominous reminder that many, many more buildings once stood on Galena's Main Street - and 515 S Main is on that survives!

Entering from Main Street, the first floor is laid out as open office space; the second and third floors are restaurant and banquet facility, respectively; the fourth floor is a prep kitchen; and the fifth (yes, fifth) floor is a studio apartment.  The fourth floor can be entered directly from Bench Street.

This building needs a lot of TLC, but in the right hands can shine like the gem it is with the best location in town!  For a private showing, please call or text 815-246-2169.

Asking Price: $800,000.00
