607 High Street, Petersburg, VA 23803

Property Description

A property at the crossroads of history and opportunity. The High Street Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1844 and expanded and further adorned in 1897. The imposing brick and stone facade is graced with two steeples and three arches. Inside is a wealth of period detail, including soaring stained-glass windows, massive wooden pews and an antique organ. Overlooking the main sanctuary is a choir loft. To the rear of the original church is a later two-story Sunday school wing. An entrance on High Street leads to a large, paved parking lot. The parcel itself extends to Gilliam Street in the rear. Located in a declared historic district and ripe for an investment-tax-credit project, the possibilities are almost endless. The Seller has made a good start on restoration by installing a stainless steel roof and rebuilding the ancient church doors.
