From the Zillow listing:
Opportunity to own one of Brenham’s premier Historic Downtown buildings- The Bassett Building. No detail was left untouched during the 2013 renovation of this stately building located on the corner of S. Market and E. Main St. This 150-year-old classic building maintains the integrity of its original heritage while integrating modern touches. Three stories with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 3 half baths and the best feature- the rooftop terrace with exceptional views of not just Brenham but of Washington County! Well preserved original features include the walk -in bank vault, cistern that is 12 foot in diameter and 13 feet deep and also the original elevator. There are so many possibilities with this building- full time residence, retail, office space, event rental… the list goes on.
