Struble’s Arcade is a 3 story mixed-use masonry building with 19,200 sf of vacant space on 3 floors. The former use of the building was primarily commercial, with two rows of shops and offices adjacent to an arcade with access to a double height mezzanine and skylight. The proposed use would restore this arcade to its former glory, while converting the upper floors over to 7 market rate apartments - of which 4 would be accessible via a new lift to the second floor.
The first floor would be redeveloped into 6 commercial spaces, all of which would be accessible from a main entry point on Main Street - providing a wide range of square footages for new or micro-retail businesses, as well as two larger storefronts slated to become a bakery and liquor store. Future tenants of both the upper and lower floors will get to enjoy interacting via the historic day lit mezzanine, full of public seating and commercial overflow on even the coldest of winter days.

Milly’s Pantry is a not-for-profit 501 (c)3 organization dedicated to the needs of Yates County’s children. It is funded through donations, grants, rentals, and sales in the Pinwheel Market & Café. The Weekend Backpack program now feeds nearly 500 children weekly in Penn Yan and Dundee. Currently approximately 200 volunteers, along with funds obtained through programs and rental spaces within the building, keep this outreach mission operational.
The historic building consists of 14,000 square feet on three floors, plus a basement, attic and sub-basement. The proposed elevator would require the renovation of each floor to allow access at each floor. The added accessibility would enable business growth and increase funds brought in through rentals. It would also provide access to participate in the many classes, programs and community gatherings to many who cannot currently attend as well as access to the second floor commercial kitchen.

114-116 Main Street
Total Estimated Cost: $847,550
DRI Funding Request: $423,775
Est. Schedule: 2 Years
Built in 1848, 114-116 Main Street has historically been used as a mixed-use building. Currently, only one apartment on the second floor is occupied. A second vacant tenancy on the second floor has a commercial occupancy, which is unmarketable as office and highly desirable as residential. The residential units on the third floor have not been occupied since the early-twentieth century, do not meet any current codes, and have deteriorated.
The proposal for the site includes remodeling the first floor into an upscale salon, renovation of the commercial and residential units on the second floor to full residential occupancy, the creation of two residential units on the third floor, and renovation of both the front and rear historic façades. The owner hopes to restore the façades with their original design elements. The project will modernize the building to meet current building and fire codes, thus activating the vacant upper floors and converting long-vacant office space to residential uses.

The owners of the vacant historic building located at 3 Main Street plan to rehabilitate it for mixed-use purposes. The first-floor restaurant space would be renovated into upscaled eatery. A “speak easy” would be created in the basement and the second-floor apartment would be renovated as well. New heating and air conditioning will be installed. Note that historically, this basement was the location of a Penn Yan speak easy in the 1930’s. Original historic features from that period will be restored and interpreted.
The façade would be improved by restoring the original brick and installing new windows and doors. The rear of the building would receive new siding and a new roof. Improving the building’s façade will heighten curb appeal, attracting potential visitors, customers, and renters.
