Description:
Step into a rare piece of downtown Galesburg history, now ready for its next chapter. Formerly the Galesburg Public Library, this iconic landmark at 40 E. Simmons St. stands in the very heart of the Central Business District. With its brick exterior and commanding street presence, it offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern potential. Inside, the building has been fully emptied and is primed for redevelopment. The layout features a large, open upstairs level ideal for creative office, retail, gallery, event, or boutique hospitality concepts plus a partial basement for storage and back-of-house needs. Recent rooftop HVAC units provide a valuable systems update for a head start on build-out. The property benefits from B-3 Central Business District zoning, supporting a wide range of commercial uses in this walkable, amenity-rich location. Positioned amid restaurants, shops, services, public parking, and civic anchors and just blocks from Main Street, this is a signature redevelopment opportunity where historic charm meets everyday convenience. Write the next story for a Galesburg cornerstone and bring your vision to life downtown.
