108 Palmerston Street Riverton, Southland District

If you love character buildings that leave behind a story, this is one you'll want to take a closer look at.

Dating back to approximately 1891, Mrs Clark's Building has been part of Riverton's history for well over a century. Designed by architects McKenzie and Gilbertson, the building was originally associated with baker Duncan Weldon Clark and his wife, Margaret Young, who became known as Mrs Clark.

Following her husband's passing, Margaret took over the premises, continuing the business as a bakery and grocery store until 1914. Over the years, the building passed through several owners, many of whom continued its baking heritage.

Then came another chapter in its story.

More than a century after its early beginnings, the building became home to the much-loved Mrs Clark's Cafe, helping put Riverton on the map as a destination for locals and visitors alike. The cafe went on to earn recognition as New Zealand's Best Cafe in 2012 and 2013.

Today, this historic property continues to generate income, leased to three tenants: the well-known Christmas shop, a screen-printing business, and a residential tenant occupying the two-bedroom apartment upstairs.

But there's more here than history and established income.

With approximately 330 square metres of floor space, an additional room at the rear of the building, generous parking and land that may offer potential for additional holiday accommodation cabins, the possibilities are certainly worth exploring, subject to the necessary consents (if any).

Perhaps you're an investor looking for an established income stream. Perhaps you have a vision to create a unique home-and-income opportunity. Or maybe you can imagine bringing the building's hospitality back to life in a new and exciting way.
