Property Description

A truly special South City offering at the corner of S. Jefferson Ave and Potomac Street, this three-story building is rich with history, character, and possibility. Originally home to the J. H. Waldeck Vienna Bakery & Confectionery in the early 1900s-with the family living above the shop-this corner once served as a warm neighborhood gathering place before later becoming a longtime local tavern known as Sportsman's Sisters. Today, the building has been fully gutted, tuckpointed, and broom-swept clean, providing a solid, open canvas ready for its next chapter. The former layout featured a commercial first floor with residential space on the second and third levels, ideal for retail, bar, restaurant, mixed-use, or short-term rental/Airbnb concepts. A newer roof adds peace of mind, while the building's history remains proudly visible through the original, faded 'Sportsman's Sisters ghost sign still painted along the side-an irreplaceable piece of classic St. Louis lore. From bakery to tavern to whatever comes next, this is a rare opportunity to own and reimagine a building that has served its neighborhood for generations.
