Description
The “Stone House” is centrally located in the historic downtown district of Columbus,IN., on a corner lot at the intersection of 8th Street and Franklin Streets. Columbus,IN. is the architectural capital of the Mid-west and has been voted as one of the US’s “Best Small Cities”. The house, built in 1938 is of very solid construction with the original owner and builder being a partner in a local Architecture firm who also built the original historic Columbus City Hall, now the Columbus Inn Bed & Breakfast.
The house is currently used as a private residence, but is part of the Historic Downtown Development Commercial Zone and has formerly been used as a Music Store and an Antiques Store. It has been featured on the Columbus Historic Home tour.
“Stone House” makes a spectacular private residence, but also would make a fantastic location for a small business, lawyer's office, doctor's office, insurance office, restaurant, bed & breakfast -- there are many businesses that could occupy this beautiful building with both onsite and on street parking available.
