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 a fine art gallery featuring Texas and award-winning artists. The building was recently remodeled and updated for an art gallery, studio and retail space with improvements that 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.
