Property Description

Some properties occupy a piece of Main Street. Others are part of its story. The historic Ragsdale building is a remarkable opportunity to become the next steward of one of Smithville’s recognizable downtown spaces - a two-story commercial building rich with original architectural details and ready for its next chapter. Separate entrances provide independent access to the first and second floors, opening the door to a variety of potential configurations and uses. Inside, original wood floors, exposed brick walls, tall sash windows and Art Deco light fixtures preserve the character of another era. Perhaps the most extraordinary surviving detail is the original wall-mounted jewelry display case, beautifully preserved with its retractable glass doors - a tangible reminder of the building’s history and the craftsmanship that once defined Main Street retail. Upstairs, abundant natural light and original architectural elements create a dramatic open canvas. French doors provide exterior egress and the opportunity for a future balcony, subject to applicable approvals. This is not a cosmetically renovated interpretation of a historic building. Much of its original fabric remains intact, giving the next owner the opportunity to thoughtfully determine what stays, what is restored and how the property evolves. The building currently has no interior plumbing, and the original electrical system will require rewiring. For the right buyer, those infrastructure needs also present an opportunity: modernize the building intentionally while preserving the details that make it irreplaceable. Retail. Gallery. Studio. Office. Hospitality. Mixed commercial concepts. Or something Smithville hasn't seen yet. The bones are here. The history is here. And one of Main Street's most memorable buildings is ready for someone to write its next chapter.
