Wonderful opportunity in historic downtown Forney! A historical building dating back as far as 1879 to 1904 yet adaptively restored with modern touches. The building façade appears in photographs dated as early as 1904. The structure does not have state nor national historical designation(s) therefore modification and usage are determined by the owner. The structure was both restored and occupied as office headquarters by NADC Architects, LLC. The building features a two-story tall space with exposed contemporary ductwork, stained wood roof trusses, exposed red brick common walls, period ceiling fans, and suspended contemporary lighting. Built-in cabinetry in the office and conference areas feature polished granite countertops. The building is all electric apart from gas heating. The building includes a kitchen area with storage cabinetry and built-in dining - conference table, an enclosed storage room, and a unisex lavatory. A large covered parking shed at the rear of the building easily accommodates two full sized vehicles or converted to an outdoor lounge or dining area or enclosed for additional building square footage. Local zoning also allows a canopy to be added to the front face of the building. A great positive for this building, as compared to others in the area, is the concrete floor system. During the previous restoration, the interior walls and existing wood floor system with a crawl space were removed and replaced with a new, reinforced concrete slab on grade floor and new interior wall construction. The concrete floor system adds significant value to the building. To preserve a “clean†appearance, ALL wiring for electrical, signal, security system and hard-wired internet is cleanly concealed in attractive yet accessible crown molding or hollow baseboards providing easy access for changes. The upstairs storage room is solely for concealment of the HVAC system, computer server, security system hub, communications hub, and for dead storage |
