Agent Description

ICONIC LEWES LANDMARK - The original “Lewes Firehouse and Lock Up” has a story as vibrant as Lewes itself! Welcome to this rare opportunity to become part of history in this town favorite, complete with retail and living space. The building’s storied past includes its 1897 inception as the first firehouse in Lewes, followed by its role as the town jail, town hall, sometime school, and site of the first celebration of Catholic mass in Lewes. Standing watch, steadfast through World Wars, national and local milestones, this resilient property extends a unique invitation for the visionary. Completely renovated from top to bottom in the mid 1980s, the 1st floor shop features two showrooms, storage (formerly town jail), bath, and classic, multi-paned storefront windows; and the upstairs living area offers 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, dining and living rooms, with wood and tile flooring. Historic significance and modern opportunity await in the true center of Historic Lewes!
