Property 13: Building 819, Old Movie Theater
5,810 Sq. Ft., 1.6± Acres

Located just 15 minutes southeast of Marquette, the largest city in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, this two story cement block building was well known to all the movie-goers that served at K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base.

The property sits back from the road behind an automotive repair facility. It can be accessed from two driveways off of Avenue A. The property consists of the main building, large paved parking area and wooded area to the rear. Its large raised ceiling area makes it a perfect candidate to get repurposed into a shop or some other business that needs added ceiling height.

Current zoning is none specified, but the county is aware of the auction and is willing to work with a new owner if a zoning change is needed for a future use.

The parcel was once part of the K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base which shut down in 1995. Today, K. I. Sawyer is a thriving industrial park/airport with many major companies and families calling it home.
