A recorded Texas Historic Landmark, Cobb’s Market, located in Calvert’s Historic Business District, is an opportunity to own a building on a distinguished and destination Main Street. Built in 1868, the meat market was remodeled into a Victorian building of handmade bricks in 1878 by Mrs. Ella Oscar. The original walk-in meat locker/cooler remains intact and is a major feature to the building’s interior. Today, the 1675 sq. ft. building is home to an antique shop and was renovated with the store owner in mind who may want to live on-site with full bathroom and kitchen, The remodel improvements include A/C, full ADH bathroom, kitchen area, interior and exterior paint, electrical and track lighting. The property is located on busy SH HWY 6 with store front access, street and side parking and backdoor/alley access with space for private parking. TXDOT improved the 8-block historic district walking experience with new sidewalks that include stamped bricks plus a stamped historic district medallion in each block. The property offers an investment opportunity to own a building on Calvert's historic Main Street and SH Hwy 6, with not only a Texas Historic Marker but also a business district listed on the National Registry. Calvert is located approximately halfway between two major universities and tourist destinations, Texas A&M University in College Station and Baylor University in Waco.
