Home Details for 426 Commercial Street

Set along a scenic stretch of riverfront, this industrial property offers a rare combination of historic character, expansive acreage and modern usability. Once home to a hydroelectric power station, the site played a meaningful role in bringing electric transit and early power infrastructure to the Illinois River Valley. Its legacy remains evident in the solid construction, soaring ceilings and substantial footprint. The main building provides 14,290 square feet of open-span space ideal for manufacturing, warehousing, fabrication, light industrial or specialty redevelopment. High ceilings and large floor areas offer flexible layout options, while the adjacent acreage allows for equipment storage, expansion, parking, or potential additional structures. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1989, the property includes several original structures that reflect the region's early energy production era. Their presence adds architectural interest and potential eligibility for certain historic property incentives (buyer to verify). This is an exceptional opportunity for businesses, developers or investors seeking a distinctive property with both functional industrial capacity and unique historic value.
