Property Description
Welcome to the Cox-Williams House, built in 1890, listed individually on The National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and as part of the Riverfront Historic District in 1984, It is a stunning embodiment of late Victorian architectural elegance, recognized as one of the most elaborate examples in the historic downtown core of St. Helens', prime for a full restoration or reuse project. Designed in the exquisite Italianate style, this home boasts a hip roof and intricate detailing that reflects the craftsmanship of its era. Inside and out, you’ll find many original features that transport you back in time. Originally moved from a neighboring lot in 1912, this historic home is situated on a generous 78 x 100' fenced lot, offering a prime location on First Street, right in the bustling downtown historic district where you can enjoy the internationally recognized month long celebration of the movie "Halloweentown", summertime concert series and other holiday celebrations.This is the first time it has been on the market in 29 years. If you’re looking to restore a piece of history and create your dream home in a vibrant community, the Cox-Williams House offers a unique opportunity to own a significant part of St. Helens’ architectural heritage. Because this property is zoned commercial this is also a fantastic opportunity to let your imagination run wild with the possibilities it presents.Fun Fact** This home was used as a filming location for the 1996 movie "Things I never Told You"**
