Over 7,500 square feet of brick commercial space in the heart of downtown Anna, Illinois. US Highway frontage with nearly 9,000 vehicles passing the front door every single day. B-1 Central Business District zoning. First floor delivers 4,760 square feet with 13 ft ceilings — a fully built-out bar area, main dining room, common meeting room, commercial kitchen, prep room, dishwashing area, storage, and public restrooms. The second floor adds 2,760 square feet with 10 ft ceilings — once home to Teen Town, the community gathering spot of the 1950s and '60s — plus an additional 40 x 50 area under a sloping metal roof. Brick construction. Public utilities. Gas furnace, central air, alley access, and free public parking.
The building needs some TLC. What it offers in return is a location, a footprint, and a set of bones that most people spend years trying to find. Whether you are looking at reopening a restaurant, creating an event venue, developing mixed-use space, or starting smaller and building toward something bigger — the layout is already there and the address does the work.
The ladies who owned the Brick House Grill stayed busy feeding our bodies and our souls for years. This community still misses what happened inside these walls. Baby showers. Christmas parties. Soup on a cold January day after a funeral. The building held all of it. Now it is ready for someone willing to put in the work and write what comes next.
Disclosed: Kitchen hood leaks in heavy rain. Grease trap requires periodic cleaning. Second-floor restrooms not in service. Sold AS IS, WHERE IS. Inspections encouraged prior to bidding — call show contact info
