Two historic storefronts one finished as an art gallery with living quarters upstairs. Second storefront is ready for your plans
We are offering for sale two adjacent historic buildings that tell a unique story. 

When it was determined that the buildings were not stable and would need to be demolished, Historic Clarksville, Inc stepped in to save the historic streetscape.  The facades of both buildings were saved. Reportedly, $309,545 was invested in stabilizing the façade and rebuilding 113 N. First Street. In 1999,  a completely new building was constructed behind the over hundred year old ornamental metal façade.
The Historic Clarksville, Inc. spent over $95,000 stabilizing the façade of the adjacent building, 115 N. First Street.  It has yet to be reconstructed. The artist owners have a concrete floor in place and have built a small metal building used in creating art glass.
Clarksville, Missouri is located just an hours drive north of St. Louis on the banks of the Mississippi River
This sleepy little early 19th Century river town that was in its heyday when steamboats ruled the Mississippi was awakened by the arrival of new settlers.  In the 1980s Clarksville was discovered by artists and antique dealers as a place with much of its 19th Century charm intact. Its old storefronts became ideal places for art galleries, stores for resident craftsmen who produce the next generation’s antiques, and fine antique shops and restaurants.   Many of these artisans lived in the loft like spaces above their galleries and storefronts. As the town’s artist colony grew, it became a vacation destination with several fine B & B’s and restaurants to compliment the galleries and boutiques.
