304 W. Main Street has been a bowling alley, a theater, and a community anchor, and it's ready for its next act. Located on three city lots along historic West Main Street in downtown Manton, Blue Pin Alley comprises two connected buildings - over 8,000 sq ft, plus a development-ready adjacent lot, all with prominent Main Street visibility that's hard to put a price on. The larger three-level building delivers the most potential: a spacious open main floor built for crowds, an upper level with an existing apartment plus shell space suitable for 2–3 additional residential units, and a lower level where the original bowling lanes once rumbled now offering serious square footage for storage, production, or whatever the next vision requires. The adjacent single-story structure includes a small upper loft that once housed a theater projector, because - of course it did. Adaptive reuse, mixed-use redevelopment, brewery or taproom, food hall, event venue, boutique hospitality, short or long-term rental — the bones support the imagination. Permitted uses subject to buyer verification with the Village of Manton. One of Manton's most recognizable addresses. Three lots. Two buildings. Endless upside.
