Historic Shenandoah Building To Be Renovated After Sitting Unused For 24 Years

(Shenandoah, IA)  —  A historic building in downtown Shenandoah will be renovated after sitting unused for 24 years.  The project is expected to cost a half-million dollars.  The Johnson Brothers Building served as a livestock feed mill.  It was built about 80 years ago and closed in 1998.  Shenandoah officials had initially talked about demolition a decade ago, but now they support the idea of turning the building into retail and office space, as well as a storehouse and workshop for doors, windows, and other materials that are rescued from other properties.  If all goes well, the work should be done in the fall of 2023.
