Discover a rare opportunity to become the steward of a true downtown Taylor landmark. Built in 1893 as the "Peterson Block," this magnificent single-story structure at 113 W 2nd Street is more than just a building—it’s a living piece of Texas history. As a contributing property to the National Register Historic District, this location offers a unique opportunity for a buyer passionate about preservation and community. For nearly a decade, this building has been the heart and soul of Taylor's music scene as the Black Sparrow Music Parlour. It has a well-established reputation as a beloved community hub, offering a unique blend of live music, art, and fellowship. The property’s rich history is tangible, from its early days as K.J. Peterson’s hardware and hatchery to its rumored past as "The Diamond Inn," a local speakeasy. This lore, celebrated on local ghost tours, adds a layer of unique character and charm that cannot be replicated. The mixed-use property features approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of space, including a thoughtfully designed commercial area with a stage, a professional-grade analog sound system, a coffee/beer bar, and intimate lounge areas. A separate, private apartment is also included within the same single-story structure, providing a flexible live/work option or a source of additional rental income. Located in the heart of a downtown undergoing a powerful revitalization, this property is ideally positioned to thrive. With Taylor’s strategic location in the “Golden Texas Triangle” and significant economic development from projects like Samsung, this is an investment in both a valuable asset and a burgeoning community. This is more than a commercial building; it’s an opportunity to own an integral piece of Taylor's past while shaping its future.
