Executive Summary

This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire the historic former Western Military Academy campus, most recently used as Mississippi Valley Christian School. Spanning nearly 40 acres with three principal buildings, the property combines expansive grounds with substantial existing infrastructure, creating an outstanding redevelopment prospect in Alton, Illinois.
The campus includes a four-story administrative and classroom building of approximately 35,000 square feet, featuring a lower-level cafeteria and multiple floors of offices, classrooms, and living areas. A dedicated gymnasium of over 9,500 square feet includes a stage and updated roofing, while an additional 15,000-square-foot barracks building offers dormitory-style layouts and solid structural integrity, ready for renovation. Updated mechanical systems and newer roofs on core structures enhance the investment profile.
Conveniently accessible via major transportation routes, the site offers versatility for repurposing into residential developments, senior living communities, educational campuses, hospitality facilities, event venues, or mixed-use projects, subject to necessary zoning amendments. Expansive green spaces, character-rich architecture, and a flexible layout make this property a unique canvas for visionary investors and developers seeking scale and heritage appeal.
