CALLING ALL HISTORY BUFFS! Here is your once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history from the Civil War....and the only one of its kind on the West Coast! Located in the heart of Wilmington, on a corner R2 lot....there are a few possibilities here for a potential developer/buyer. There are essentially 2 sections of the lot, one is contained by a chain link fence by the City to protect the historic monument, one is a large garden and flat lot managed by the City of Wilmington Beautification group. The garden area can be developed and a structure can be put on according to the City and historical society. The structure itself is a Civil War-era Powder Magazine, built in 1862, used to store gunpowder for the nearby Camp Drum. See link here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_Magazine_(Camp_Drum). Current Sellers inherited the property that was purchased in the 1970's as a Duplex. When the Seller went to tear the duplex down to rebuild in the 80's I believe, the powder magazine was discovered and revealed. The City claimed it as a historic monument and the owner decided not to build. We do not have definitive answers on IF a structure could be built on the garden area, but imagine a bit more research would give us answers! According to my title rep, It was declared a Historical Monument in 1982, but they didn’t record the Resolution until 1994. The document indicates it is Historic-Cultural Monument No. 249. The property is also being sold with Mineral Rights. Please feel free to do a field trip to drive by and check it out and do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, I'll do my best to answer them!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
