304 W. Main Street, currently home to Blue Pin Alley, and before that a historic theater and community gathering place spanning generations, sits on three city lots along historic West Main Street. Over 8,000 sq ft across two connected buildings, plus a development-ready adjacent lot. The residential upside is real and already in motion.

The second building brings another 4,000+ sq ft of open space, currently configured as the bowling alley. Live-in investor, multi-unit conversion, mixed-use with residential above, the configuration supports multiple strategies. Prominent Main Street visibility, three lots, two buildings, and an address that Manton already knows by name. Permitted uses and unit count subject to buyer verification with the Village of Manton.

Currently operating as Blue Pin Alley (since 2018) with event space, this property has served as a community gathering place for generations, with roots dating back to an early 1900s bowling alley and later the Manton Theater (1949–1968).
