Step into a piece of Shipman history with this historic property, originally built circa 1900 as the McGinnis Store and once home to the community’s post office. Located along James River Road in the heart of historic Shipman, the building was part of the village’s early commercial center and remains a contributing property within the Shipman Historic District. Today, this historic structure offers a rare opportunity to bring your vision to life. The interior is unfinished and ready for the next owner to create something truly special—whether a unique residence, studio, shop, or creative space, subject to applicable approvals. With its rich history, character, and potential, the McGinnis Store is ready to begin its next chapter.
