The Village Square – One of the unique landmarks of Jefferson City!
The Village Square, originally Warwick Village, was a Coffee Shop and Cottage area built for central Missouri residents and out-of-towners. Warwick Village was one of the first Motor Courts in central Missouri, built in 1935 along the design characteristics of the European Villages displayed at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1934. Following WW-II, the 4-story Hotel building was added to the compound and in it’s prime days lodged many elite businessman and politicians, including then Senator Harry S. Truman as well as many state legislators.
Today, the Village is being renovated by it’s owners who purchased the property in near disrepair just 3 years ago and have totally refurbished, redesigned and rebuilt the large building that includes 7 executive suites: 2 executive office spaces (620 square feet), two-1 BR/1 BA apartments, two-2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartments, a penthouse suite and a brand new Coffeehouse that will soon include a deli restaurant.
Also as part of The Village Square, there are cottages that used to house the motor coach overnighters back in the mid-1900s. The project plans for the cottages involve the finished community development in 2 years. The Village Square will be fully renovated and extended to include the small cottages that will be leased to local businesses to add an element that will create the most unique shopping and dining experience as well as corporate office community in historic downtown Jefferson City.
The owners of the Village desire to create an atmosphere that is like no other in Jefferson City!
