Description

Own a piece of Pueblo's rich history with this unique opportunity to purchase the Swartz Block, aka the Odd Fellows Lodge. Built in 1898 and listed on the Pueblo Register of Historic Places in 2009, this stately two-story stone building is located in the heart of historic Bessemer. Originally home to the Bessemer Pharmacy and the Odd Fellows meeting hall, this century old architectural landmark remains a proud symbol of Pueblo's industrial past and community heritage, and offers exceptional potential for redevelopment into multi-unit residential, commercial, event based use or a combination. The lower level features a move-in-ready 3 bedroom, 1 bath apartment that highlights the building's historic charm, with tall ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows, a classic clawfoot bathtub and more. Two additional units at the front of the building are ready for conversion into commercial offices or residential apartments. Upstairs, the back of the building opens into the large meeting hall with 15-foot ceilings and hardwood floors - perfect for a gym, studio, events or flex space. At the front of the upper level is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment, offering another private residence or potential to redesign as kitchen and serving area for the meeting hall, supporting receptions, conferences, live/work or co-working uses. Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, or preservation-minded buyer, this property offers limitless possibilities in one of Pueblo's most iconic historic buildings.
