The Mithoff Companies has aquired the property at 201 N Columbus Street and also 218 W Wheeling street. While currently occupied by Unified Bank, the bank will close this branch at the end of the year.

We are still exploring ideas and plans for the building. The first three floors of the building are just over 5100 square feet each and the fourth floor is approximately 2700 square feet, for a total of 18000 square feet above grade and the front section of the building has a partial below grade level. We plan to tear down the drive thru and make that whole area a parking lot for the building. The total lot is approximately 15000 square feet, so the building will have more than adequate parking space.

The options for this building are limited only by imagination. A boutique hotel would fit nicely based on the layout and dimensions of the space. Certainly the building could be all professional office space and suites. The lower 2 floors could remain commercial and the upper 2 floors could be residential. With the oversized windows, the views are endless. We plan to add the same size windows down the wheeling street side of the building in the back section where there are currently no windows. The roof of the third floor would make an amazing rooftop patio for a boutique hotel, residential living or commercial tenants looking for a cool hang out area. Seriously, the options are near endless.

We are open to inquires from individuals and businesses if you have any interest in leasing all or part of the building. Please contact Brad Hutchinson, 740-808-0053 or [email protected]

🕰️ Built in 1914, we plan to call this building the “Stewart-Alban Building” paying homage to the furniture store that occupied the building from 1928 until closing in 1993, according to the history book of the building put together by none other than our own great historian, Joyce Harvey. (Thank you Joyce)

The next chapter for this building is just getting started. One building at a time, with the hope that someday we have no empty storefronts, no empty upper floors, and no run down blighted buildings in all of Downtown Lancaster.

Looking for a new #2!

After over 30 years of working together, Curt Hankinson is planning to retire from The Mithoff Companies sometime in the near future. He has been one of the best, most consistent, talented people that i have had the pleasure of working with. Curt was the project lead man on virtually every recent project that we have done the last 10 years. The Mithoff building, The Mill, The Thimmes Building, Hillbilly Heaven transformation, The Carriage House, Etc. Etc.

Several years ago we hired Zack Wilks to start training under Curt, knowing that retirement would be coming for Curt. Zack is now prepared to take the lead as the number one guy when Curt finally decides to retire. With the start of the very large remodel of the old Tiberios building at 121 West Main Street, downtown, we need to hire a new guy to start training to be the new number 2! Are you, or someone you know, that guy? We offer competitive pay, consistent work, 401K retirement, paid vacation, paid holidays, potential truck. This is a real job, not a cash under the table type construction job, like so many of the others. You will be a full-time employee, not a subcontractor. You will get a real paycheck with taxes taken out. If interested, or have questions, you can email Brad at [email protected] or text 740-808-0053, or Charlie Mansfield at [email protected]

You can send resume if interested to both Brad and Charlie.

Update on 121 W Main St (former Tiberios):

We are working on it, I promise! I know it may seem like there has been no progress on the building, and that is somewhat accurate, but not completely. I went in and tore out some of the floors that had been added so we could get a feel for some upper level areas. This building has many challenges due to its size and shape, but our team of professionals have been working hard and last week we got a preliminary approval from the plans examiner to move forward.

The team working on this consists of Matt Brady, who will own and operate the restaurant, Curtis Weaver with Solid 5 Design, Nick Palladino with VPL Architects, and my right hand man, Charlie Mansfield with The Mithoff Companies. We believe the design is pretty well finished and you can see some renderings attached here of what to expect.

When i say this building will be nothing like any other in Downtown Lancaster, I am not kidding! It is going to be amazing. I think we will start actual construction work sometime in June, which means construction dumpsters in the street (SORRY) and construction trucks coming and going. We apologize in advance for these inconveniences. I would anticipate a spring 2027 completion.

Stay tuned, we are excited to bring you another dining option downtown.
