What a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Alton history! This building has 5216 square foot. Historically it was a DMV, then bible book store/church, plus part of it was used as an insurance office. Upstairs has an apartment too for additional income. This place would make a great resale shop, or make it into apartments, or lease out the different offices to businesses. Basement has ramp entrance. Basement, Main floor and apartment all have their own entrances. Lots of options to make this an income producing property.
