302 E 3rd , Lampasas, TX 76550(Lampasas County)

This historic two-story brick building with full basement was built during the Depression in 1932 and stands on the corner of Third and Main Streets in the heart of the city of Lampasas. The approximately 10,000 square foot building sits on three city lots that originally held the Lampasas Opera House, a two-story cut stone building. At that time, the opera house, owned by W.H. Barnes, was declared to be the finest building in the city. Sadly, the opera house was totally destroyed by fire in 1887. Then in 1932, the present day building was built to be used as the Lampasas City Hall, but with a multipurpose use in mind. The city offices were located on the street level first floor; the public library was housed on the second floor; and the full basement was used for miscellaneous city functions. After the new City Hall building was built next door, the old city hall building was used by the city in various capacities until the 1990's. At present, only one section of the building (1450 SF) is occupied as the city municipal judge office, and the rest of the building is vacant. It also offers 9 designated parking slots plus street parking. This is a great priced brick building sitting on 3-full city lots in a central city location just waiting for the right person with vision to buy & renovate it into a new city jewel. Future optional uses are retail, business offices, restaurant, or for much needed downtown loft apartments or condos.
