One of Covington's most prominent buildings since right at the intersections of two most historically significant streets in the central business district. The Mutual Insurance Building, a stoic three-story structure built in 1921, was the headquarters of, what else, an insurance company, but also housed a bank and Getz Jewelers during its heyday. There was a restaurant that offered table service on the first floor and a buffet style diner in the basement. There have been many plans in recent years for the lovely building but none have come to fruition and except for a small insurance company housed at the street-level, the Mutual Building is pretty much vacant.

The River City News took a tour of the building this week and now you can get a look inside this great building that is ready and ripe for development.
