115 W 2nd St sits in Taylor within the Downtown Taylor National Register Historic District, which is the core advantage of this property. Built in 1900 on 0.08 acres, this commercial sale is not simply an older storefront. It is a downtown Taylor asset with documented operating history, recent system investment, and a location tied directly to the business activity that shapes value in a small historic core.

The building has already supported more than one viable use. It previously operated as a bar and restaurant, with a commercial vent hood and stainless steel sink unit, late night operation permit, liquor license, and 330-customer capacity. More recently, it served as an event space. That record matters because it shows this is not an untested shell. The layout and prior approvals point to a property that has been used at real volume and can support multiple commercial paths depending on the next owner’s plan.

The surrounding context is equally important. Nearby businesses include Second Street Station, Curbside Coffee Co., Black Sparrow Music Parlor, and Louie Mueller BBQ, along with loft apartments, galleries, and a mix of retail, office, and hospitality space nearby. Taylor’s status as a Texas Main Street community and the presence of an active Chamber of Commerce add practical support for downtown business activity. The future Samsung manufacturing facility outside Taylor adds another layer of relevance, as new employment and development pressure can change how investors and operators view historic downtown inventory over time.

Recent improvements reduce the usual uncertainty attached to a 1900 building. In the past 2-3 years, the hardwood oak floors were refinished, the 40-foot wood bar was refinished, the facade and interior were painted, the kitchen and bathrooms were remodeled, and the 350 square foot stage was restored with lighting. The metal roof was repaired and recoated in 2025. Two new 5 ton air conditioning units were installed in 2024 and 2025. Plumbing and electrical were replaced in 2018. At $1.50M and 145 days on market, the case here is straightforward: this is a historic downtown commercial property with infrastructure, identity, and prior operational depth that position it for continued use as Taylor grows.
