I purchased this building two years ago to open a consignment and estate sales store. My dream was to open two retail spaces (facing the DMV/down the street) with two apartments above. While my passion for the building, business, and the town still remains, it is time for someone else to be owner.

The town code was updated last year and includes setbacks that are less than when I bought it. It is in the general commercial district.

The building sits on just about the footprint of the lot. It has a dirt floor inside and appears to be sitting on cinder blocks. The second floor is supported by lally columns (appear to be relatively new). The back building was an old stable. Both have electricity. Water and sewar hookups are available through the town.

The location and potential are there. I'm willing to help the new owner navigate town code and the process. Price to own is $120,000 cash. I paid far less (it's public info) and I know what it is worth. PM for more info. Please don't comment if you are not interested. It's difficult for me to part with it as it is.

Town of Mineral VA: In 1916, there was a major cave-in at the Arminius mine that greatly reduced ore production. By the1920s, competition from mining in other areas of the country where sulphur and other ores could be mined at lower costs gradually caused the mines to close. Over time, those operations ceased and the town witnessed a decline from its boom period at the turn-of-the-twentieth century. Mineral later provided services for the agriculture and lumber businesses. The construction in the 1970s of the nearby nuclear power plant and the development of its large lake for recreational activities provided a modest boost for Mineral during the late twentieth century. The annual Mineral bluegrass festival draws hundreds of music fans to the town. The historic district captures the buildings that date from
Mineral's heyday and reflects the optimism, activity and modest wealth that were created in Mineral during that period by the mining industry.

Town of Mineral VA: Many people contributed to the growth of Mineral. George Ergenbright, who when he first moved to Mineral, lived in the development company house on West Third Street, erected a large dwelling at the south end of town as a boarding house and his family home. This later became the Dunlore Inn. In addition to owning Mineral Hardware Store, Ergenbright built several service stations in the town. The Gibson's, who lived in a large Queen Anne-style house across Eighth Street from the Dunlore Inn, were local farmers who lived in town but farmed outside of town. Dr. William J. Coleman came to Tolersville in 1890 and played an instrumental role in the growth of the town. He purchased the John Davis House where he practiced medicine and surgery and ran the house as the Coleman Hotel. In addition to his duties as a physician, he was a partner in the first general store, Coleman & Chapman. DE Bumpass also had a store and warehouse at First and Mineral Avenue.
Although these buildings burned, he rebuilt a larger brick store that stands today. He later sold it to Lewis Spicer and it became Spicers Department Store.

Town of Mineral VA: Over the years, fires have taken a toll on the buildings of Mineral, especially those in the commercial area along First Street between Mineral and Louisa avenues. In 1921, the town created a fire ordinance and required a building license because so many of the buildings were frame and a fire hazard. Unfortunately, buildings continued to be lost to fire. The Mineral Hotel, which had as its core the second Tolersville Tavern, burned in 1923. It was located where the present fire department now stands, which Walter Bishop designated the "Hotel Lot" on his plan for Mineral. George Ergenbright owned the Mineral Hardware Company, which stood on the southeast comer of First Street and Mineral Avenue. It was a grand three-story brick building with bold parapet. Unfortunately, it burned and was never replaced. A drug store and furniture store stood between the
Bank of Louisa (now the town offices) and the railroad but burned and was never replaced."

Town of Mineral, VA: A public school is a necessary component of any growing town and Mineral was no exception. The first school in Mineral was a two-room, frame building constructed in the 1890s at the comer of Louisa Avenue and Fifth street. In 1909, L. A. Keller, Sr., the railroad agent, telegraph operator, and member of first town council, began a drive for funds to build a high school at Mineral. Mineral residents raised $12,000 and a new two-story, brick school opened for the 1910-1911 term. It had about 75 to 100 students." In 1924, a new auditorium with four classrooms was built and the school was accredited. In 1926, the original brick building burned shortly after the end of the school year but the new auditorium was saved. The school was quickly rebuilt and re-opened in January 1927. A boiler room was built at the same time. In the 1940s, all three county high schools were combined into the one Louisa Country High School and the Mineral school became an elementary school only. The Mineral Elementary School closed in 1987.
