The Beebe property includes a two-story 32,838 sf building and a 36 foot x 79 foot warehouse. The Site consists of two parcels: 307 S Knowles Avenue (PID 261-1050-10-000-001) and 126 W 3rd Street (PID 261-1050-20-000-002). The Beebe Building dates back to 1899 and was owned by the Beebe family for generations. Over the years, the building served the community as a drugstore, mortuary, furniture store, and hotel, and has been expanded and renovated numerous times. The hotel portion of the building has 37 rooms, with two common areas on the first floor. The Beebe Building has multiple restrooms, with some additional % and % baths in hotel rooms. The Site was most recently used as a motel, funeral home, and tobacco store (which was previously a cafe for many years). The Site is highly visible given its location on a corner with frontage along Knowles Avenue/State Highway 65. The most recent traffic data from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation suggests that about 12,000 vehicles travel past the Site on a daily basis. Nearby land uses include a public parking lot, Royal Credit Union, a multi-tenant commercial building that includes an Anytime Fitness and food pantry, Wisconsin Lighting (which was recognized as the 2016 Small Business of the Year by the St. Croix EDC), Travel Leaders travel agency, and McCabes Shamrock Club Irish pub. The Site is located within walking distance of a grocery store, restaurants, and retail and professional businesses. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
