From the Zillow listing:

 

The Kentucky Hotel, circa 1790, sits at the corner of 5th St. and Jackson St. B-4 zoning allows for mixed-use development that could accommodate on and off-street parking. This property is one of only three remaining ordinaries still standing in Lynchburg, VA. The Kentucky Hotel is in remarkably great condition despite its age with a newly sealed and painted roof, new gutters and down spouts, security system and well maintained landscaping and grounds. The building features Federal Style Architecture, 2 fireplaces on each level (8 total), 1.5 baths, and wood flooring throughout. Ideal redevelopment opportunity with property being located in the Historical, Opportunity and Enterprise Zone. Additional incentives include Federal and Local tax credits.
