Description

Step Back in Time in the Heart of America — Historic Downtown Lexington, Missouri! Built in 1857 and proudly bearing its original iron plaque on the front façade, this architectural treasure is one of the oldest commercial buildings still standing in Lexington’s nationally recognized historic district. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it stands as a testament to craftsmanship, preservation, and timeless Missouri character. From its ornate brickwork and grand display windows to the intricate pressed-tin ceiling and beautifully preserved hardwood floors, every element tells a story. Step inside to discover a vintage bar, cozy rooms, and exposed brick detailing — all blending history with modern updates. The building has been meticulously maintained, is up to code, and ready for new ownership without major updates needed. The outdoor courtyard is a showpiece — complete with a tranquil fountain, antique three-globe lamp post, cobblestone-style brickwork, and decorative iron gate entry. Envision hosting courtyard dinners under the soft shimmer of café lights or simply enjoying peaceful mornings surrounded by the history that built this town. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the country, Lexington offers the charm of a riverfront town while being within easy reach of Downtown Kansas City and surrounded by a growing network of suburban communities and rural towns. This central location allows for an impressive customer draw — whether your vision is a boutique café, tasting room, art studio, or private office destination. Whether you’re restoring its legacy or building something entirely new, this is your chance to create the next landmark moment in a building that has inspired generations. Potential for residential use may also be explored, offering even greater flexibility for live/work possibilities allowing the next owner to blend history, lifestyle, and investment in one unforgettable space.
