Welcome to the historic Denechaud House, a three-story, mixed-use building in the heart of downtown Birmingham. Originally opened in 1887 as a hotel and restaurant, this building has housed a grocery, sewing machine company, a paint supply store, a furniture store, an architect firm, and most recently a law firm. It adjoins the legendary Florentine Building and is less than two blocks from Collins Bar, Helen, La Fresca, El Barrio, Bamboo on 2nd, the City Federal Building, and more. The first two floors are setup for office space, connected by a gorgeous spiral staircase. The top floor is a 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom loft that must be the most luxurious in the city. All three floors are connected by elevator and stairs in the back of the building. BIG UPDATE: Seller has demolished the inside of the first two floors. It is a blank slate for whatever vision the new owner has.
