Realtor Comments
Original Presbyterian Church for sale located near downtown Gilman built in 1886 as indicated by the Cornerstone built into the foundation. Inside full of History with pews, pianos, church bell, and stained-glass windows still present! Church and extra lot are zoned residential but certain variances to convert to a business would be considered by the town boards. Personal property and some pews do not stay but most all church related items do stay. Call for details.
