Siegel's Department Store

The Siegel’s Department Store, located on SE Fourth Street in downtown Evansville, Indiana, is a distinguished two-story brick commercial landmark, constructed as a haberdashery in 1888 in the Romanesque Revival style. Its robust masonry façade, rhythmic rounded arches, and expansive ground-floor displays reflect the late 19th-century tradition of masonry commercial architecture.

In 2016 the building's long-time steward Siegel's Uniforms moved out. Our team provided the new owners with a feasibility study to assess the building's current conditions and marketability. We produced architectural drawings and assisted with a grant proposal for much-needed renovation funds. To help attract an anchor tenant our team produced 3D renderings for multiple prospective anchor tenants. The building has now undergone exterior improvements and repairs as it awaits additional investment. The building's combination of heritage architecture and prime downtown location make it a compelling candidate for mixed-use redevelopment—such as ground-level commercial space with upper-level apartments—aligned with broader urban revitalization efforts.
