Closed VFW post goes up for sale
The closed Bowie Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #8789 was put on the market for sale this week with a Decatur area realtor.
The real estate website landsearch.com posted the property on May 3 listed with Cason Caraway of Parker Properties. It is titled as 5.5 acres of improved commercial land at $575,000.
The VFW building located at 707 E. Nelson is almost 11,000 square feet of usable space. After serving veterans and the community for nearly 75 years, the post home closed on Dec. 8, 2021 when post officials announced in a Facebook post the charter has already been relinquished and the VFW was permanently closed.
