Under $75K Thursday – Old General Store For Sale in Leonardsville, NY $65K

The Main Street Shoppe, as it more recently was known, was built before 1900 and sold balloons, novelties and toys before it went out of business. Previously the Italianate style building was a thrift shop, cafe, flower shop, and general store. An upstairs apartment is move-in ready. The original kitchen cupboard and hardwood floors are glorious!

Around 1800, Reuben Leonard operated several businesses in Leonardsville, including a grocery and dry goods store. Before the post office was established, it was customary to address mail “In care of Leonards.”

Nestled along the Unadilla River, a dam provided water power, so a scythe and hoe factory was established by 1808. Additional factories included a foundry and machine shop, general blacksmith shop, grist and saw mills, a horse rake factory and wagon shop.

In 1856, the saw mill, grist mill and farm equipment factory were destroyed in a devastating fire, but were rebuilt soon after. Today none of the manufacturing buildings, known as shops, remain.
