Description:
Located in the heart of downtown Chewelah, the Mountain Market on Main occupies one of the town’s most recognizable and historically significant buildings. Originally built as a school for St. Mary of the Rosary Catholic Parish, the property has long been a cornerstone of community life—first as a place of learning and later as a familiar local market serving generations of residents.
The structure reflects the era when Chewelah’s downtown grew around the needs of the community—wide storefront windows for displays, a welcoming street-facing entrance, and practical interior space for merchandising, coolers, or service counters. Over the years, Mountain Market has been a steady part of daily life, supporting local traffic from Main Street, nearby neighborhoods, and seasonal visitors coming through town.
The building retains much of its original charm and character, with solid construction, tall ceilings, and a spacious, adaptable interior that reflects its early 20th-century design. The wide storefront and Main Street frontage offer exceptional visibility and accessibility, ideal for retail, specialty market, or mixed-use adaptation.
Beyond its commercial appeal, the property carries deep roots in Chewelah’s history and continues to hold a special place in the hearts of locals. From its early years as a parish school to its more recent role as a neighborhood market, it has remained a gathering place and symbol of small-town resilience.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a downtown Chewelah landmark—a property that blends heritage, location, and versatility, ready for its next chapter in the community’s story.
