Over 4,500 square feet of incredible opportunity awaits in this one-of-a-kind historic commercial property. Originally constructed in 1903, this landmark building began as the Bonneau-Jeter Hardware Store and has played a fascinating role in the history of downtown Elba. In its early years, it not only served the community as a hardware store but also crafted coffins for a nearby funeral home and supplied embalming materials, making it an important part of the town's heritage. Many of the building's original features remain, including the vintage freight lift, which is still operational. Also included in the sale are three historic neon signs ready to be restored and showcased once again. Recognized in 2020 on Alabama's Places in Peril list, this property presents a rare chance for an investor or visionary to breathe new life into a treasured piece of local history. A new roof installed in 2023 has already provided a solid foundation for its next chapter. Perfectly positioned on Elba's historic downtown square, the upper level offers beautiful views overlooking the courthouse, while the property sits adjacent to the beautifully restored Elba Theatre. With its prime location and flexible layout, the possibilities are endlessfrom a boutique coffee shop, caf, deli, or restaurant on the main floor to stylish loft apartments or a high-end Airbnb on the second story. This is more than just a buildingit's an opportunity to preserve history while creating something truly special for the future.
