Well, it’s definitely waterfront! This is a unique listing in Oregon. It was original built as a “net loft”, a building designed for repairing and drying nets for the fishing fleet! It’s the only remaining structure of its kind on the west coast! “Big Red” was built in 1897. It is located on 2.50 acres in Astoria, Oregon. Would make neat art studio or gallery. One bathroom and 19,600 square feet. $129,000

From the Zillow listing:
A once in a lifetime opportunity to restore Astoria’s most well-known, beloved, photographed, and painted building. Lovingly referred to as “Big Red”, the Union Fisherman’s Co-Op Packing Co. Fishing Depot was constructed in 1897 over the Columbia River as a net loft- a building designed for repairing and drying nets used by Astoria’s vast fishing fleet. It is the only remaining structure of its kind on the west coast. Constructed with massive beams of old-growth timber, Big Red features soaring high ceilings, views of the river, the Astoria-Megler Bridge, Washington State, and city views of the quaint town of Astoria. For the last few decades, local artists have utilized the space for art studios. What would you use it for? Zoned A1/C3. Cash only sale. Showings granted after proof of funds, declaration of intent, and signed liability waiver.
