A rare opportunity to reimagine one of Alton’s truly distinctive spaces. Located in the heart of historic Middletown, this impressive brick and stone former church at 720 Henry Street offers extraordinary character, remarkable scale, and possibilities limited only by your vision. Step inside and immediately understand what makes this property special. Soaring ceilings reaching approximately 40 feet in portions of the building, incredible stained-glass windows, beautiful architectural details and original millwork create a setting that simply cannot be replicated. The expansive main level offers approximately 10,000 square feet and includes the former sanctuary, generous gathering and banquet spaces, kitchen area, offices, multiple restrooms and additional flexible rooms. Additional square footage in the basement, complete with walk-up access, provides even more room to create, expand and transform. Adding to the property's appeal are three new high-efficiency gas furnaces with central air conditioning, along with portions of the roof that have been replaced with architectural shingles—valuable improvements that complement the building's historic character. Continue its legacy as a place of worship, envision an unforgettable event venue, explore a residential or multi-unit conversion, create an extraordinary live/work environment, or bring an entirely new concept to life. With approximately half an acre, plenty of off-street parking and an incredible amount of usable space, this property presents an opportunity rarely found in the Alton market. Situated among the historic architecture of Middletown and convenient to Downtown Alton, local dining and entertainment, the riverfront and the Clark Bridge, this building combines character, space and accessibility in a location rich with history. Buildings like this do not come along often. Whether preserving what has made this property special for generations or writing an entirely new chapter within its walls, 720 Henry Street is ready for someone with the vision to see what it can become. This auction has a 6% Buyer's Premium. Terms & Conditions Apply. Call or go online for more information.
