Description
This quaint, historical building in the commercial district of Lewisburg, WV, offers a unique opportunity for office or retail space. With two distinct office areas, one featuring numerous built-in bookshelves and cabinets, both spaces are enhanced by charming mantels and faux fireplaces. Notably, the building is linked to Lawyer Price, who represented Zona Heaster Shue in her infamous murder trial--the only case known to have involved a ghost testifying. Remarkably, this structure survived the Great Fire of Lewisburg in 1897, which devastated 13 buildings. Its preservation is attributed to the heroic efforts of the African American community, who formed a bucket brigade to combat the flames threatening the shake roof. Scorched shingles were discovered during a later roof replacementserving as a testament to the building's storied past. This property is not only a piece of history but also a versatile space, ready to support your business aspirations.
