Step into a piece of Indiana history with the Hardy Building - an architecturally rich 1913 brick structure in downtown Markleville. Originally home to the area's largest hardware store, this fully restored property now offers over 15,000 square feet of flexible space, currently operating as an event venue. The main level features a spacious open floor ideal for receptions, weddings, or community events, along with an adjacent annex, a prep area for caterers, and renovated restrooms. The updated second floor includes separate bride and groom rooms, a function area, and additional modernized restrooms, making it perfectly suited for private events and gatherings. Zoned for general commercial use, the building is also ideal for a dance or exercise studio, coworking space, or other creative business ventures. The existing event business and furnishings are offered for sale separately, providing a unique opportunity for a turnkey operation or custom reimagining. Positioned on a 0.19-acre lot with excellent visibility and accessibility, the Hardy Building offers timeless character, practical design, and endless potential for the next chapter.
