Description

Rich in local history, this H.R. Wentzel & Sons property at 300 South 4th Street once supported Newport’s early grain and lumber trade, when products from the surrounding forests and farms were processed and shipped from town. Set on approximately 1.23 acres with two substantial buildings, it offers an exceptional opportunity to repurpose a historic commercial site that has long served and supplied the community. With flexible structures, generous land area, and a legacy rooted in milling, warehousing, and transportation, the property is ideal for adaptive reuse—whether for modern commercial, light industrial, maker-space, or mixed-use concepts that continue Newport’s tradition of commerce and community support.

The legacy of milling, warehousing, and transportation that shaped this site is still evident in its solid construction and functional design. High ceilings, large open floor areas, and ample access points can accommodate equipment, inventory, or collaborative workspaces. Portions of the property may lend themselves to office, showroom, or retail-style uses, while other areas can be configured for storage, fabrication, or distribution.

Its location within Oliver Township offers good access to main routes serving Newport and the surrounding region, supporting both local and regional operations. For those who value character, history, and authenticity, this property provides a distinctive alternative to generic commercial space. It is an ideal canvas for a business or redevelopment project that seeks to blend heritage with modern utility.

Whether you envision continuing its tradition of commerce, creating a destination for local artisans and small manufacturers, or developing a multi-use complex that serves the broader community, this property delivers the space, history, and potential to bring your plans to life. Explore the possibilities and become the next steward of one of Newport’s enduring commercial landmarks. All uses subject to verification of zoning, permits, and municipal approvals.
