116 W James Street

This 1916 Neo-Classical Revival was started as a private bank by R.W. Chadbourn, who traveled here from Maine in 1849. It was his bank that became the First National Bank, incorporated in 1861, the 178th chartered bank in the country. Standing stellar yet today, this downtown Columbus building offers great curb appeal! The main level commercial space is currently vacant with well made build-outs, large display windows, a generous space for retail and/or service, and half bath. Upper level with striking corridor takes you back in time and ushers you to three one-bedroom apartments with beautiful woodwork, large windows, and high ceilings. All tenants are on a month-to-month and pay all utilities. Each apartment has their own furnace and storage space. Convenient coin-operated washer/dryer.
