About this home

Own a piece of history! This property was built in 1880 by Mr. Asbury (owner of Higginsville Flour Mill). The building occupies three lots and is centered on the site. It is adorned by mature shade trees and fruit trees (apple & cherry). Located adjacent to a public parking lot in the downtown Higginsville Business district. The building was built with American Bond Brick and Walnut Logs. The property has truncated hip roof that was replaced in the last 20 years with a 40 year shingle. The windows have been replaced with vinyl replacement windows. There are three distinct areas of arch styling over the windows. One is a segmental arch with keystones, others are double course of bricks forming segmental arches. Look closely and you will notice continuous stone sills on the bay window of the square tower. The wrap around porch offers morning shade and a view of Shelby Street. Inside you will find the first floor is set up as a restaurant with a full kitchen. Off the kitchen is a walk in cooler, wash room, office, staff restroom and butler's pantry. Off the butler's pantry you will find a coffee station. The dining rooms can comfortably seat 55 guests. Guests will be intrigued by the large windows, custom trim and rich history. Off the back of the building is a two bedroom cottage that can be retrofitted to be a guest house. The second floor is an open palette waiting for your finishing touches.
