38-40 Columbia Street is a surviving example of the work of Wilfred E. Mansur; property was built in 1911 as the end bay to a much larger structure. The rest of the block was destroyed in the fire of 1925. The building had been vacant and neglected for 35 years before being purchased by current owners in 2000. The floors were stained black and buckling; the roof was leaky and had damaged the tin ceilings. The owners dove into the project, trying to keep certain elements of the building intact while gently adapting it to their needs. The end result is a stunning property which contains a studio with storefront on the ground floor, rental office on 2nd floor, living loft on 3rd & 4th floors, tin ceilings, original woodwork, & amazing views of downtown! A true one-of-a-kind property like no other! $450,000
