17 Rockingham ST Rockingham, VT 05101

This fabulous, multi-use building offers so many options for use. The Bellows Falls firehouse, built in 1904, is a four-story stone-trimmed brick building displaying simplified elements of the Romanesque Style both on its three-story Rockingham Street front facade and the four-story Canal Street east facade. Its presence reflects the rich architectural and economic history of downtown Bellows Falls when the papermills and railroads were flourishing. Since its use as a working firehouse and police station stopped in the 1980's, it has had a mix of commercial and residential tenants. The current owners purchased the building in 2002 and have upgraded many features, including new twin Boderus boilers in 2012, new roofing, and a recently completed sprinkler system. Currently fully occupied with a variety of tenants, store front is currently a popular children's clothing store, there are two artists studios, a beautiful second floor, 1-bedrm apartment, a well known landscape architect occupies the third floor for office spaces, includes a kitchen and bathroom. The lower level opens to Canal St and is utilized as a woodworking shop. There is a non-commercial elevator in the building. Nearby public parking & the train. Excellent location for visibility and numerous possibilities. Insurance cost TBD after Sprinkler System was installed, they should be less.
