Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Cooperstown's rich history with this fabulous 1824 firehouse. The building, an excellent example of an early 19th century Federal structure, was once used as Cooperstown's engine house. In 1889 the old engine house was bought at a public, sale by George Mission and was used as a repair shop. In 1890 it became the private residence of George W. Wood. Anna Cunningham owned the firehouse for a brief time between 1955 and 1960, when Mrs. Joseph Campbell, of Cooperstown, purchased the firehouse and renovated the building, Mrs. Campbell opened an Arts & Craft Center. The property has remained in the Campbell family, housing Lake Classic Designs and recently the Freeman's Journal, Cooperstown's local paper for over one hundred years. The building is adjacent to an empty lot to the south, and to a residence on the north, and is similar in scale to surrounding structures. It has first story garage doors and double second-story doors. There is a fanlight window in the east (front) gable. The open floor plan is suitable for office, retail or gallery space. This old engine house could also be renovated as an incredible village residence. The adjacent parking lot is one of the last of its kind in the village.

Vacant Lot $175,000. Building & Lot $450,000
