Nevada building on the auction block today

A key structure in the Fort Thomas Midway district will be auctioned off this morning at 10 AM at the Campbell County Courthouse.

The 120-year old Nevada building, at 1049 S Fort Thomas Avenue (BIRD'S EYE), once contained a Kroger, a barber shop and a cafe.

Today, it contains four renovated offices, upstairs apartments and has two available storefronts.

The building was originally scheduled for auction on November 20. The building owner, Bluebird Enterprises, filed for bankruptcy that week, causing the delay.

Fort Thomas Renaissance has applied to have the Midway district placed on the National Register of Historic Places, hoping that historic tax credits would make the entire district more attractive to developers.
