Our office building is located in the heart of historic downtown Roanoke between the Roanoke Visitor Center/Museum and the original Babe's Chicken Dinner House. Built around 1890, the building shares a common wall with the museum which was the Silver Spur Saloon. Our building originally had a second story and possibly served as a bank or hardware store, although local legend sheds a different light. We look forward to sharing its history when you are in the area!
