Property Description
Architectural pedigree meets modern opportunity! Constructed during the golden age of Midwestern commercial architecture, this early-1900s gem reflects the design ideals championed by Louis Sullivan, the “father of skyscrapers,” and carried forward by his famed apprentice Frank Lloyd Wright. Sullivan's belief that “form follows function” is evident in the building's ornate limestone relief panels and symbolic pineapple finials, which marry elegance with civic pride. Wright's influence shows in the careful proportions, integration with the streetscape, and emphasis on craftsmanship. The façade's red brick, decorative stonework, and generous display windows embody that legacy, making this not just a property, but a tangible piece of America's architectural heritage.
Inside, historic charm blends with creative flair — pressed tin ceilings, exposed brick walls, warm wood floors, and custom copper details frame a bright, open layout. Currently home to a distinctive café, the property features a statement aquarium, whimsical mural, and even a preserved vintage vault. Located on a visible stretch of South Broadway with steady foot and vehicle traffic, this one-of-a-kind property is ideal for a café, retail shop, creative studio, or boutique office. Here is your chance to own and operate within a living piece of design history while shaping its next chapter.
