Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Virginia City with this unique opportunity to own the historic "Pelosi Blacksmith Shop". With a prime location on the main street of this charming and storied town, the blacksmith shop offers a chance to own a piece of Nevada's heritage. The shop is surrounded by other historic landmarks, attracting tourists and history enthusiasts year-round. County tax record shows it was built in 1900, but other sources show the 1860’s is more likely., While it was used for blacksmithing, horseshoeing, and wagonmaking over the years, it has been quite some time since a business has been in operation. It was burned inside at some point and is just a shell currently being used for storage. It is zoned as commercial or residential so you could remodel this into your dream home as well. Or it could accommodate various business ventures, from event space to artisanal crafts to a themed retail store. The shop's rustic style creates an authentic atmosphere that transports visitors to the 19th century. The lot runs up to B Street so the upper side of this lot could be developed with a home on it. Virginia City is known for its vibrant community events and festivals. Don't miss out on this exceptional opportunity to own a piece of history in one of Nevada's most iconic towns. Schedule a viewing today and explore the endless possibilities this historic blacksmith shop has to offer.
