Additional Property Attributes

The subject property is located in historic downtown and includes a multi-level office building, the parking lot north of it, a municipal parking lot and a parking garage. The Phase I assessment was completed for a potential purchaser, however complications arose with foreclosure and the prospective purchaser's ability to finance the deal. The city executed a loan of $275,000 to Woodruff Historic Building group. Subsequently the owners decided to use private funding to finance the cleanup, canceled the RLF loan and repaid the funds that had been expended. The cleanup was subsequently completed and the property was redeveloped and put back into service.

Former Use: The multi-level office building has been utilized as office space with a restaurant and/or pharmacy since its 1909 construction. In the 1950s, additions were made to incorporate a commercial structure located to the west. This structure had previously been utilized as a store, gas office, telegraph, cleaning company (1896 to 1902) and as a tobacco company (prior to 1886). The footprint of the original multi-level office building (prior to the 1950 addition) was occupied by a stonecutter in 1896 and appears to have been undeveloped prior to that time. The parking lot located north of the office building has been utilized as a loading dock, parking areas and a fenced area with electrical generators since approximately 1977. Previously, this tract was occupied by a parking garage and car rental facility (1935 to 1972), a filling station (approximately 1933 to 1972) and auto service (1935). A printing company (1920 to 1963) and church (prior to 1925) were also historically present. The municipal parking lot has been utilized as a parking lot since approximately 1960. This tract was utilized by a paper company from approximately 1920 to 1952 and as filling station from 1930 to 1950. Prior to 1920, it was also utilized as a saddle company and a tobacco company with residences to the north. This portion was residential land prior to its commercial use. The parking garage has been used in its current form with warehouse space and meeting rooms since approximately 1977 with previous occupants including a bank and a youth support group. Previously, it was operated by 3-4 companies including a motor supply company and two auto repair shops (1925 to 1972), an electric company (1963 to 1972), a warehouse and transfer company (1920 to 1963) and a printing company (1920 to 1925). This portion was undeveloped land and then residential prior to its commercial use.
