Overview
The Historic McKowen Store Building (ca. 1835) is a rare opportunity to acquire or lease a historic commercial property located in the heart of downtown Jackson, Louisiana. Situated along Charter Street, the town’s historic commercial corridor, the property is part of the Jackson Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building contains approximately ±4,500 square feet across the basement and first floor, with an additional ±1,500 square feet of attic space that could potentially be converted into additional office, retail, or creative space.
