1203 3rd Street, Wausau, WI 54403

This property is one of the original structures in Wausau, Wisconsin, established in 1880. The lower level has historically served as the oldest bar in Wausau, making it a designated historical landmark by the city of Wausau. The building underwent renovations in 2011, blending an artistic and industrial aesthetic while preserving many original features. The renovation revealed the original tin ceiling and the glass block at the front entrance and window. Additionally, some elements from the second floor were creatively repurposed for the first floor. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet, the split level second floor offers ample space for the new owner’s vision. Situated one block from Wausau’s ongoing Riverfront redevelopment, the location is highly desirable. A recent enhancement to the property includes an attached outdoor fenced area, featuring benches and tables crafted from the 145-year-old ceiling boards salvaged during the renovation. Unlike many commercial properties in the vicinity, this one includes two parking areas: a lot behind the building and a large adjacent lot with designated parking. The renovation was executed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that this impressive two-story structure, with its large windows and illuminated glass block, remains a stunning presence that has stood for over 145 years.
