Historic Redevelopment Opportunity | Former Elks Lodge & Van Dorn Hotel 158 E College Ave - Holly Springs, Mississippi Offered As-Is - Priced for Historic Redevelopment A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a historic landmark in the heart of Holly Springs , one of Mississippi's most culturally rich small towns. Constructed in 1905 in the Colonial Revival architectural style , this two-and-a-half-story brick structure totaling approximately 5,150 square feet sits on a 0.33-acre site just off the town square. The building has served many roles throughout its storied history: - Elks Lodge No. 1099 (1905-1936) - a social center for the town - Van Dorn Hotel - a gathering place for travelers and events - Marshall County Superintendent's Office (1981-2014) - Community events and arts venue known locally as "The Lodge." Inside, much of the original character remains-including hardwood floors, tall ceilings, historic trim, and traditional staircases . While the property requires significant renovation, the structural shell and architectural integrity remain intact, providing a strong foundation for redevelopment. The location places the property at the center of Holly Springs' growing heritage tourism and blues culture economy . The Mississippi Blues Trail markers, outdoor music pavilion, and annual blues festivals sit directly behind the property. Nearby venues-including the well-known Burnside blues club -draw music enthusiasts from around the world. Holly Springs itself is known for: - The Ida B. Wells Museum - Historic railroad depot and downtown district. - Annual music festivals and cultural events - Its role in Mississippi's Civil War and civil rights history. Potential redevelopment concepts include: - Boutique hotel or bed-and-breakfast - Live music venue or blues club - Coffee shop, restaurant, or gift shop - Arts venue, theater, or cultural center - Event and wedding venue The building has long been a gathering place for celebrations, ballroom dancing, and community events-and the next owner has the opportunity to restore that tradition. For investors and preservation-minded developers, 158 E College Ave represents both a historic responsibility and a remarkable redevelopment opportunity.
