Historic B&O Station could be yours for $1.6M
YOUNGSTOWN
The historic B&O Station location on seven acres is for sale for $1.625 million.
The property recently went on the market with D’Amico Agency Inc. representing the Arroyo family that for the past 15 years has owned the property on lower Mahoning Avenue near the Spring Common Bridge.
“We’re looking for someone to redesign it and use it to its full potential,” said Fred D’Amico, the real-estate agent selling the property.
“The family is still running it, but events are scarce. No one in the family wants to continue running the business. Maybe a group of people can come in. It’s a beautiful location, and it’s a historical facility.”
The site includes the main building, built in 1905 as a train depot and last used by Amtrak as a passenger train stop about a dozen years ago.
It is now used for weddings, banquets, parties and other events. The building also houses a fully functioning brewery and has a commercial kitchen with all of the equipment included in the sale price.
The location also has an outdoor stage and pavilion, D’Amico said, and the Box Car Lounge, a bar built about a decade ago.
“We’re willing to come up with financing assistance,” he said. “We want to give the new owners the opportunity to use the facility. We want to find someone who can keep the integrity of that area intact. It’s an entertainment hot-spot. We want people to revitalize the area.”
Those interested in the property can view it and get additional information by visiting notinthemls.com or by calling D’Amico at 330-782-3381.
Also for sale is the nearby Anthony’s-on-the-River building, 15 Oak Hill Ave., which has been vacant for close to a decade.
That property is being sold by Cocca Development Ltd. Calls from The Vindicator about Anthony’s were referred to Kelly A. Cocca, a company official who couldn’t be reached Tuesday to comment.
