Iconic Delta Avenue Corner Property in the Heart of Clarksdale’s Blues District

271 Delta Avenue | Clarksdale, Mississippi

Don’t miss the rare chance to own this standout downtown property on the iconic corner of Delta Avenue and 3rd Street—just one block from Ground Zero Blues Club and steps from the heart of Clarksdale’s music scene. With its brick exterior, wrought iron details, decorative balconies, and gated entrances, this building carries a hint of New Orleans character while staying true to the Delta’s soulful architectural style.

Upstairs are four unique one-bedroom apartments that come generously furnished, each with its own personality and charm. The premier corner suite features six oversized windows overlooking Delta Avenue, filling the space with natural light and the unmistakable sound of live blues drifting up from the street below. Original hardwood floors, exposed brick, antique lighting, and tall ceilings make this unit a true retreat above the music. The remaining apartments offer kitchens, living spaces, and full baths—ideal for long-term tenants, short-term guests, or an owner-occupied setup.

Downstairs, the property includes two commercial spaces. Facing Delta Avenue, “The Gallery” is partially renovated and full of potential, featuring leaded glass windows, exposed brick, original transom doorways, and a private courtyard with a charming wrought iron gate. Around the corner on 3rd Street, the second space is home to the world-famous Deak’s Harmonica Shop—a staple in Clarksdale that draws musicians and tourists from all over.

Whether you’re looking for an income-producing investment, a downtown residence, or a truly one-of-a-kind mixed-use property, 271 Delta Avenue delivers. Step into the rhythm of Clarksdale and make this historic corner your own.
