QuoteThe Groover-Stewart building downtown has been sold and is headed for a renovation and new occupants. A limited liability corporation based in Chicago paid $2.05 million for the four-story, 53,000-square-foot building.
But Bobby Knight of Coastal Commercial Real Estate, who brokered the deal with Fitch King of Morgar Realty, said American Credit Corp. of Boston will assume ownership.

It will renovate the building and occupy most of it.

Knight said most of the building, 25 N. Market St., has been vacant since the Public Defender's Office moved out in 2011.

Well that's good news.  I thought that building could make for some good office use.

It's great to see some out of town money being invested in our historical structures.

Good news. The building looks to be in good shape, at least from the outside.

Do offices come with showers or is that only in the new digs?
