Property Description

Some properties are measured in square feet. Others are measured in stories. Locally known as “The Silver Dollar,” this one-of-a-kind Natural Bridge property has spent generations adapting to its community, from its early days as a milk state along the neighboring railroad tracks to a dance hall, roller rink, bar, workshop and more. Today, its next chapter is waiting to be written. Step inside and you'll find an incredible amount of space, character and history. The expansive former dance hall and roller rink retains its original wood floors and now serves as a substantial workshop, with a large, shallow crawl space below providing additional storage. A former loading lean-to remains as another reminder of the building's working past. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the newly finished studio apartment, where the property's rustic history has been thoughtfully carried forward. Handmade cabinetry and details give the space its character, while a stairway crafted from a tree and its branches leads to the loft above. Even the kitchen counters have a story; they were repurposed from the floors of a local school. The building has most recently served as storage and workshop space for a contracting business and does need TLC, but for the right buyer, that's part of the opportunity. Workshop, artisan or maker's space, live/work property, private storage, creative studio, restoration project, or something entirely its own. The Silver Dollar has already lived many lives. Maybe it's time for you to give it another.
