Description

Rare opportunity in the heart of the Historic Riverfront Plaza District. The Cox William House (1890), the largest and one of the most architecturally significant Victorian residences on the river grade level, offers notable potential for commercial, residential, or mixed-use purposes. Individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this Italianate-style home features a hipped roof with bracketed eaves, an expansive verandah with turned posts and scroll sawn brackets, and elongated double-hung sash windows. Relocated in 1912 and situated on two full city lots, the property is located in a high-visibility downtown corridor and is zoned for both commercial and residential uses, providing flexibility for a range of permitted uses. With its scale, historic character, and prominent location, the home will welcome the next steward to continue its story through restoration, redevelopment, or thoughtful adaptive reuse.
