Unlike Fire barn#5 which is Elgin's Fire Museum, Fire barn #3 allows you to enjoy operating your business as well as being your home like no other! Stainless steel appliances and newer cabinets in 2nd floor apartment. First floor could be a nice Family room or with Home Office or a RETAIL BUSINESS. Much of its rich history is still evident today. 11'+ ceilings Designed by Smith Hoag built for horse-drawn apparatus in 1896 reflects turn-of-the century "Storefront Style" of barn architecture you'll want to visit Elgin's fire Museum to really appreciate its legacy!
