Property Description
High-Profile Space in a historic River Forest building. This distinctive property, dating back to 1890 with site records extending to the 1850s, is one of River Forest's genuine historic landmarks. Over the decades, it has hosted a variety of businesses, including an art gallery, tea shop, real estate office, design studio, chocolatier, salon, and wellness center. While its earliest occupants and uses are not known, in the middle of the last century, it was home to a shoe repair shop, and most notably, from 1945 to 1962, a Chicago Harley-Davidson Motorcycle dealership. Remnants of that era remain as unique oil markings on the hardwood floors-an authentic, unexpected touch of character. After the 1960's until the early 2000s it became "destination real estate"; the professional real estate office home for a distinguished list of River Forest brokers. Today, the location offers a highly visible street presence, off-street parking, private bath, kitchenette with high ceilings and skylight. There is flexible potential for office or retail use with shared reception, and conference area. Its rich history and prime location make it a rare opportunity in River Forest.
