Spectacularly maintained and rich with history—this three‑story pressed‑brick landmark pairs character with everyday usefulness and versatility. Original walnut staircase and charming “nooks and crannies” are balanced by practical updates including a renovated bath, newer furnace, and plumbing—ready to serve today’s office needs or be reimagined for creative studios, boutique services, or mixed‑use.
The three-story property includes private offices, conference rooms, library, dry basement, kitchenette, restrooms, fireproof storage, and an attic with original walnut vaulted ceiling. Every room is unique with hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, bay windows, and more.
Designed by Arthur L. Pillsbury—the architect who shaped Bloomington’s civic identity through landmarks like Adlai Stevenson II’s boyhood home and the Katthoefer Animal Building at Miller Park Zoo—this property offers a chance to steward a living piece of Bloomington’s architectural story. Whether preserved as a professional office or adapted for creative use, it blends legacy with possibility in the heart of downtown.
Just steps from Museum Square and a short walk from the site of Abraham Lincoln’s 1856 “Lost Speech”, the location links Bloomington’s past to its vibrant next chapter—around the corner from the courthouse, government offices, the farmers’ market, specialty retail, and locally loved [or many of the city's top-rated or best] restaurants.
Downtown momentum is real. Phase 1 construction is underway for the City’s “Downtown for Everyone” streetscape plan, with a program designed to improve walkability, public space, and economic vitality: downtownforeveryone.com
