Charming, updated, historic building in downtown Fort Scott, was constructed in 1895 ad is recognized as possibly the first S. H. Kress store in Kansas. The current downtown district's preservation recognizes its role in Fort Scott's commercial history. While the interior has been adapted for modern retail and dining, the building remains a physical link to Fort Scott's late 19th-century prosperity. The main level of approx. 5000 sq. ft. is currently leased and operated as a restaurant. A list of restaurant equipment remaining with the building and recent building improvements is available. Approx. 2500 sq. ft. of the upper level is office space with a current lease in a portion of that. The building has a full "utility and storage style" basement. Future opportunity can be found in upper-level areas (approx. 2500 sq. ft.) waiting to be renovated as additional office spaces or finished as Air BNB. With is combination of finished office space, existing restaurant infrastructure, unfinished areas, and recent building improvements, the Kress Building offers flexibility for a buyer seeking to establish, expand, or redevelop a commercial operation in Fort Scott. 10 years of NRP remain on taxes--great savings for buyer! Current leases to be honored in purchase. Lease terms available to buyer's agent.
