This collection of three utilitarian buildings dates to around 1903 and various lumber enterprises occupied the buildings for a near century. The office and coal storage buildings are both excellent examples of the increasingly rare False Front building type. Unfortunately the buildings have been underutilized since 1992 and vacant since 2007. The property was listed in the National Register as a contributing resource to the Glasco Downtown Historic District and is thus eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits and possible grant monies. The current owners do not have the funds to rehabilitate the building and are interested in finding a preservation-minded buyer to take over the property.
