About half of it was built in 1946 for the Arkansas Minnow Box company. That was sold to Arkansas Sheet metal in 1952, which expanded the place and owned it for the next seventy years. After a deep cleaning and some cosmetic upgrading, it is poised for your dreams. The current owner was able to acquire two adjacent lots and a nearby corner lot. It is right on the active Union Pacific tracks, feet from the planned bike path to the riverfront and Hot Springs. It is just off the Woodrow exit of 630, on a street that ends at the tracks, and has recently seen substantial investment in new and renovated housing.
The area's next few decades will be dynamic, as Little Rock's creative class retreats from the burbs and turns forgotten into alive The property's great bones, ample parking and location steps from the Stifft Station neighborhood position it well to attract the public that now visits the Rail Yard and the Scrap Yard, or to become a cultural destination like the nearby Whitewater, but in a remarkable space.
Come, check the place out and see it's potential. Let your imagination go. Make it happen.
