Property Description
Built in 1889, the prestigious First National Bank Building stands as a cornerstone of downtown Stephenville and as a proud Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. Constructed in a Romanesque style and later enhanced with Neoclassical and Queen Anne elements, the building showcases a visually striking blend of architectural features. The rusticated light grey limestone façade, ashlar pattern stonework, and copper-roofed turret lend timeless character. The entrance, framed by a Neoclassical portico, hints at the building's storied past as a financial hub during Stephenville's formative years. Inside, the replastered walls, decorative friezes, and transoms evoke a bygone era. Much of the original longleaf pine flooring, baseboards, door frames, and millwork remain in place, offering authenticity for investors seeking heritage and character. Renovated with care, the building has been structurally maintained providing a solid foundation for commercial, mixed-use, or boutique hospitality opportunities. Currently, the building is actively utilized as a retail space on the ground floor with office rentals above—providing immediate income potential for the next owner while maintaining flexibility for future vision and use. Whether as a gallery, retail destination, professional offices, or a signature restaurant, the possibilities for this landmark are as expansive as its legacy. This is more than a real estate purchase—it's an investment in the living history of Stephenville. Opportunities like this don't come along often!
