Opportunity to own historic commercial building in Calvert’s Historic 8-Block Business District on the National Registry. Originally built in 1869, this historic building first operated as the Casimir Drugstore until 1949. Today, the building is the working studio and headquarters for international sign painter, Starr Studios. Spaces throughout the property have been designated to showcase the artist’s collections, as well as workspaces for gilding, restorations and sign painting. The property also includes living quarters, yoga/meditation space, and garage for custom painted art and lettering as seen on HGTV’s Junk Gypsy's VW bug. The building was once home to a bar/dance hall where guests gathered for frosty beverages w/friends. Original diagonal wood floors can be seen throughout the 3750 sq. ft. space. Multiple rooms and areas can be used as more retail space, storage, living quarters and more. The front room has a large retail/showroom and counters along with working areas. The back room/garage has a concrete floor with an alley exit door at grade. The property also boasts two roof windows/skylights for natural light and a special feature in historic buildings. Approx. halfway between College Station/Texas A&M and Waco/Baylor, this property is conveniently located in one of the state's largest historic districts on the National Registry. The building is an investment opportunity with the potential for retail, art studio, office, or hospitality in Calvert’s 500 block.
