James Russell Building

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Fergus history, the former James Russell and Sons Dry Goods Store operated for four generations at this location, starting in 1888. Located in historic downtown Fergus, this beautiful three story brick building features 10,200 square feet of commercial space complete with a restored tin roof, hardwood floors throughout and exposed stone walls. Each floor is separate from the other, all with private entrances – the first floor would be ideal for retail or a restaurant with huge storefront windows letting in tons of natural light. The first floor also has two bathrooms and natural gas and plumbing already set up for a kitchen. The second floor has two bathrooms and is currently subdivided into four separate spaces but can easily be modified with additional walls for an office space. The third floor is currently tenanted with a yoga and exercise studio. This floor has one bathroom and one changing room. Each floor is has been lovingly renovated with fresh paint, high ceilings and exposed beams highlighting the incredible architecture of the 1880’s.
