Property Description

Prominently positioned on beloved Mill Street, this incredible +/- 19,904 square foot property is rich with character, history, and untapped potential. Originally built in the early 1900s during the height of Grass Valley's booming Gold Rush era, this grand multi-level building has long been woven into the fabric of the community. Behind the storefronts and expansive commercial space lies one of its most unforgettable hidden treasures a stunning third-floor ballroom featuring soaring dome ceilings, exposed brick accents, intricate trim details, and the timeless craftsmanship rarely found today...You can almost hear the echoes of another era grand gatherings, celebrations, music, and community events that once filled the hall. Now, the opportunity exists for a new owner to breathe life back into this extraordinary space and reimagine its future.
