Executive Summary

The Ladies Literary Club is a rare opportunity to own a piece of living history in the heart of Downtown Grand Rapids. Originally constructed in 1881, this was among the first buildings in the United States built for a women's organization and has been recognized as both a federal and a state historic site.
The building blends its iconic architectural character with thoughtful modern upgrades. The building was renovated in 2019 and features an upgraded sound and AV system, a new HVAC system, and full ADA compliance.
Zoned TN-CC (Traditional Neighborhood – City Center), the property supports a variety of approved uses, including entertainment and restaurant venues, general office space, and professional firms such as marketing or law practices. There is also additional off-street parking across the road.
Currently operating as a wedding venue, the property can be purchased with the building. All furniture, appliances, and audiovisual equipment are negotiable with the sale.
Whether you're seeking a new headquarters, an event destination, or a one-of-a-kind investment, this landmark delivers history, versatility, and presence that simply cannot be replicated. The Tiffany stained-glass window in the welcome area was appraised for ~$185,000 on its own.
