814 S Washington St

Rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved historic office building in Downtown Lafayette,
located in an Opportunity Zone and directly across from the Federal Courthouse. Built in 1869
and fully renovated for professional use in 1980, this property is listed on the Lafayette Historic
Register and showcases historic charm throughout, including original flooring and millwork. The
building features 12 offices, 2 conference rooms, full Cat 5 wiring in conduit, and ample off-
street and on-street parking.
While currently functioning as a single office, the property is designed to operate as three
separate units—two downstairs and one upstairs—with each unit separately metered,
individually keyed, and equipped with its own HVAC system. In this configuration, all units share
a common entry hall with front and rear entrances, a coffee area, and two restrooms. The
upstairs unit includes its own bathroom and exterior rear exit, and each downstairs unit has a
separate rear entrance, with one also offering a private bathroom. This flexible layout is ideal
for owner-occupants or investors seeking multi-tenant potential.
Move-in ready and well-suited for legal, professional, or creative office use, the building can
accommodate up to eight attorneys and support staff. Potential tax advantages may be
available for qualifying improvements due to its historic designation. Seller requests a 30-day
leaseback after closing to facilitate move-out.
