Welcome to 901 49th Street South—a unique property rich with history, positioned prominently along St. Petersburg’s bustling 49th Street corridor. Originally built as a community church, this 5,136-square-foot building sits on a 0.21-acre lot and offers immense potential for adaptive reuse. Local lore recounts stories from the building's early days, including worshippers arriving by horse-drawn carriages, anchoring its deep historical roots in the neighborhood.
Inside, the structure tells its own story. High ceilings soar above the expansive central hall, formerly the main sanctuary, featuring a distinctive built-in baptismal pool that could be creatively preserved or repurposed. Adjacent to the main hall, hallways lead to two wings that once housed daycare classrooms and educational spaces. One wing connects seamlessly to a partially built-out kitchen area and additional classrooms. As you walk into the second wing, it showcases interior walls that were once external facades throughout the hallway—a unique architectural detail reflecting its layered history through successive expansions. The second wing houses three classrooms, both men's and women's restroom facilities, and a nursery space that loops back into the main sermon hall. An upper level provides two sizable rooms, ideal for office or administration purposes.
While the building requires renovation and modernization, it retains strong structural integrity and undeniable historical charm, offering a compelling canvas for restoration or transformation. Zoned Commercial General (CG), the property allows for various potential uses, including retail, professional or medical offices, community or educational centers, houses of worship, or specialty commercial spaces.
