Introducing St. Mary's Square - a unique and expansive redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Galesburg, IL. Located at 239 S Cherry Street, directly across from the Knox County Courthouse and Knox College, this historic property offers 2.7 acres and approximately 139,192 square feet of space, primed for transformation. Originally home to St. Mary's Hospital and later repurposed as St. Mary's Square Living Center, this vacant property provides a blank canvas for investors and developers.
