Type: Commercial Sale
Year Built: 1909
Remarks: A rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Abilene history! Originally constructed in 1909 as the U.S. Weather Bureau, this stately 3-story bldg once housed the local weather administrator, family & an observatory used for weather operations. After Weather Bureau relocated to the airport in 1944, the property later served as a business school & corporate offices. Offering 4,284 SF, 1,428 SF per level, this exceptionally maintained property blends historic character with remarkable versatility. Spacious floor plan, multiple entrances & ample off-street parking create exciting possibilities for professional offices, corporate headquarters, meeting-event space, boutique business, B&B concept, or unique private residence, subject to applicable requirements. Inside features an updated kitchen, 1 full bath, 2 spacious half baths with potential conversion to full baths & 10 additional rooms previously used as offices, bedrooms, living areas & meeting spaces. Lower level features exposed brick walls & stained concrete floors, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere with industrial edge, plus utility area with washer & dryer connections. Upper 2 floors showcase original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, large windows, crown molding & beautiful period details. 2 rooms feature original custom wood-framed antique fireplaces. Grand staircase leads to impressive original double-door entrance; side & rear entrances add flexibility. Updated windows & separate HVAC systems serve each floor. Outside, mature oak trees shade lawn with sprinkler system; newer concrete parking lot provides valuable off-street parking. Reportedly not publicly offered for sale in approx 50 years, this rare property offers history, craftsmanship, character & adaptable space ready for its next chapter. For the buyer who appreciates history, craftsmanship, & buildings with a story to tell, this is much more than real estate, it's an opportunity to become the next steward of a distinctive piece of local history
