The historic 1928 Nuttal & Son building was a garage and showroom until 2008. The vacant 10,000 SF industrial building was donated to the Village of Sherman. Tusk is contracted to collaborate in the rehabilitation and reuse of the public & private space as a community center, hostel, coffee shop, Farmer’s Market, fitness center, and venue. The dedicated public space will be available to the rural community’s youth, veterans’ associations, and senior citizens to gather for fellowship and programming.  

 

The 130 W Main St location adjoins Chautauqua Rails to Trails and French Creek parks. This project serves as the western bookend to the immediate downtown Main Street business district, complementing WRTS – Sherman to the east in the transformation of the active family-orientated neighborhood. 

 

The hostel accommodations for those transiting the all-season, multi-use trails will contribute to achieving the Trail Town Designation and support ecotourism. The unique efficient short-term rentals will provide convenient and economical lodging options for visitors to Chautauqua County.
