About this home
Welcome to 229 Main Street in the heart of Downtown Johnstown, an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the city's most recognizable historic landmarks. Known as the William Horace Rose House, this striking stone residence was built circa 1894 for William Horace Rose, Johnstown's first mayor, following the Great Flood of 1889. Rich in history, architectural character, and remarkable scale, the property has evolved over the years while continuing to serve as a prominent part of the Johnstown community. Today, the property offers an impressive combination of historic charm and commercial potential, featuring three stories plus an attic and basement, 13 fireplaces, three bars, with a fourth bar area located within the ballroom, a six lane bowling alley, and a spacious main banquet hall capable of seating approximately 400 guests. Throughout the building you'll find an incredible variety of gathering, entertainment, hospitality, and event spaces, highlighted by original architectural details and the unmistakable character of this one of a kind property. Even more impressive, the sale includes the liquor license, equipment, furniture, decorations, and additional contents, creating an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to continue operating the property as a banquet and event center with much of the infrastructure already in place. Beyond its current use, the size, layout, location, and historic appeal open the door to countless possibilities, including a wedding venue, boutique bed and breakfast, short term rental or Airbnb concept, private club, restaurant or lounge, hospitality destination, or other creative mixed use redevelopment, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. Few properties combine this level of history, character, size, amenities, and opportunity in one package. From its connection to Johnstown's first mayor and the city's post flood rebuilding era to its modern day event capabilities, 229 Main Street offers the chance to own not simply a building, but a genuine piece of Johnstown history. Call today for additional information or to schedule your private tour of this truly remarkable property!...
