Exciting news for downtown Penn Yan!
The historic Struble’s Arcade on Main Street—originally built in 1869—is set to undergo a transformative restoration. Once a bustling indoor shopping destination, it served as a hub for doctors, dentists, photographers, and even featured a basement oyster bar. Often considered Penn Yan’s original “shopping mall,” this three-story masonry landmark is about to begin a new chapter. The development team at 43 North has unveiled plans to convert the building into 16 modern apartments with vibrant ground-floor retail space. Take a closer look: Watch News 8’s “Walk With Me” segment, where reporter Theresa Marsenburg tours the building alongside architect Christopher Brandt and developer Joel Barrett.
