A Rich History That Stands the Test of Time

Built in the 1870s, when horse-drawn trolleys were the primary mode of transportation on Front Street, 232 Front Street has been a cornerstone of Belleville’s downtown for over a century. Originally known as The Metropolitan in the early 1900s, the building evolved alongside the bustling downtown district, becoming a beloved part of the city’s commercial and cultural history. From the 1970s through 2021, it operated as The Maze Mall, housing a variety of shops and businesses that served the community. Today, this historic building is undergoing a transformation, blending its storied past with a dynamic future to become a vibrant hub for living, working, and connecting.
