About this home

Own a piece of Hancock’s Main Street history. The former Capitol Theatre offers a character-rich canvas in the heart of the village, with campus views of the beautiful Delaware River. Built in the early 1900s as an opera house and later the Capitol Theatre, it delivers the scale and charm creative users want. Use the 9,000 square foot plus theatre building (with an additional 3500 square foot above ground basement that has previously been used for retail) to bring your vision for an event venue, restaurant/bar, market hall, gallery, studio, or boutique retail, to life! Visibility is excellent, with walkable access to shops and services and an average daily traffic of over 3,000 cars per day. Two hours from NYC, about 40 minutes to Binghamton, and roughly one hour to Oneonta. The owner may consider owner financing or a joint venture, subject to creditworthiness. Historic pedigree, small-town energy, and big potential meet at this standout address.
