Nestled amid a row of downtown buildings on the town square in historic Washington, the Lowe-Sanders Building is the perfect place to invest in the growing small business community at the center of Wilkes County. Built in 1883, expertly restored and maintained, this two-story original brick building with coveted cast iron storefront detailing is a classic example of Victorian Commercial architecture with retail on the ground level and living/office space above. The Lowe-Sanders Building has a long history of successful ventures beginning with a mercantile and drug store in its earliest years then several beloved retail shops, including a Christmas Shoppe that attracted visitors from near and far for many years.

Today, the 3,944 sq.ft. of groundlevel commercial space serves as the home of a local clothing and accessories boutique and the space abounds with preserved historic features, including multiple display windows with transoms above to welcome natural light, antique French entry doors, a unique mix of original penny tile and hardwood flooring, lofty coffered ceilings, and mirrored support columns. Extending back to fill the entirety of the downtown lot, the building offers a rear entry/exit just off of an adjacent alley and plentiful square footage for storage, expansion of the customer-facing area, or whatever ingenious idea you can come up with. An original dirt basement extends the length of the property.
