Buying and Renovating an Abandoned Historic Storefront

Looking for a building to purchase and renovate; Dave and Sean take a tour one of one of the most unique historical storefronts currently listed for sale on the internet. Seriously contemplating if they should buy this building, and breath new life into this forgotten gem via what will surely be a full renovation. A quick ride out to this storefront in the shop truck (a 1966 Chevy C20), and the twins tour the building while Dave and Sean give you an in depth guided video tour/explanation of what shape the building is in, and what repairs would be needed if the Brothers Workshop end up purchasing this for the channel.
This episode has a little something for everyone. From a ride in the Chevy 1966 C20, a tour of the historic storefront, and even a little adventure; mix in a some building science, some imagination, and you've got yourself a great video.

If there are high school students in the town you could put together a program for a grant for the students to help with the renovations and at the same time learn about rehabbing, painting, demolition, and construction.

@@TheBrothersWorkshop We're stil working on the financing and getting estimates from our contractor. The building is 17k sq ft., We're going to put an even space in the basement that opens up to to back of the building, A cafe will go in the storefront, along with a few short-term offices and a conference room to rent to remote workers, etc. My wife and I will operate a video production company on that floor as well. Then the second floor will be long-term commercial space and a couple Air BnBs. It's a lot, but the plan is slowly coming together!

Hey guy's. I just happen to find this video and it is a lot like what i am working on. So I have come for some inspiration! My wife and I bought a 1905 historic bank that also has 2 apartments above it. Everything is outdated, unfortunately, but it will be awesome once done. The old bank still has the old vault and doors. Would love to see where you all went with your project and maybe look for ideas to make mine better.

I'm interested in what it took to buy this building? I've worked in architecture for 20+years in New Orleans. Now I'm another state and interested in education for the visual arts via a Trust, in a state historic site of a couple of buildings on one lot. Having specialized in commercial interiors, including a condo hotel a HDLC property in NO French Quarter on the National Registry. I would keep the wood doors and moulding (add to them according to the ceiling height and period style). I have other things you can add, if you'd like to exchange info on the accusation process of the building. Happy restoration adaptive reuse!

Guys, if I'm not too late, I will pay you the equivalent of scrap prices for the old school radiators! I want to build again and I want hot water heat with the old radiators!

Are there any updates on this place? And which state is this. I purchased a storefront building and am still renovating in wyandotte michigan. I would love to share it with you, and also pick your brain regarding potential for income. You mentioned an air bnb. I thought about doing this but not quite sure how and worry about liability.

i remember for the longest time i had always wanted to fix up this old house i used to live near and then an old mom and pop shop down the road that went out of business in the 80s, but then when I got into the paranormal, I found out that renovations can disturb spirits and cause a variety of things to happen from Hauntings all the way up to demonic attachments. even if it's not true I'm not exactly willing to test it and find out, since Ya' know, having a demon follow me everywhere I go and constantly trying to kill me is not really something I think I'd like to live with, so yeah. . . one out of many of my dreams down the shitter.
