This is a historical 3-story red brick building on the south side of 10th Ave SW between 1st and 2nd street SW. The named on the front of the building is MacCosham Place. It has a big 215 on the door.
The front entrance is not wheelchair accessible (yet), so if you require assistance entering the building, we will make every attempt to help you in the building via the stairs. As the building is a designated historical site, we are in the process of removing as many barriers as possible.

This location is wheelchair accessible into the front area, but currently has some inaccessible areas due to a few steps we are in the process of removing as many barriers as possible.
