Remarks

Located at 100 S. 19th St., this historic property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Indiana’s rich heritage. Once home to the Speeder Bicycle Company, which manufactured bicycles and was frequented by the legendary Wilbur Wright, this building holds a legacy of innovation and history. It’s also believed to be the birthplace of the snow plow, adding to its unique and storied past. The commercial space exudes character, featuring original fixtures and a second-story, two-bedroom apartment that holds endless potential. In the late 20th century, it became the artist studio and frame shop for Henry County’s most successful artists, Verl and Bette Schaeffer. This building is being sold as-is and requires both structural and cosmetic repairs, but its historic charm and distinctive past provide a perfect canvas for future possibilities. Don’t miss the chance to invest in this one-of-a-kind property—one that is poised to create new history for years to come.
