It all started when…
Jim & Martha Brangenberg bought a house in Marionville to live near one of their kids. Once that house was renovated, they learned about the “Old Library,” saw the beauty in its history, and fell in love. For 12 months, the couple worked to gut the building completely and worked hard to preserve as many materials as they could. A new roof install assured them that the inside would be protected, and they moved forward to uncover the old charm. Opening the rafters and exposing the exterior brick was just two of the ways they chose to celebrate the life of this old building.
They updated everything: plumbing, electrical, walls, insulation, design, painting…and today we have a beautiful 2,200 sq. ft building named Central Place.
Central Place is located at 22 E Washington St Marionville, MO 65705 and is the headquarters for iWork4Him Ministries, Inc. - Jim and Martha’s non-profit media organization. Their podcast studio and offices fit comfortably in about 1/2 of the offices.
There are 4 offices that are available for rent.

and then there was more…..24 E Washington St
When Jim and Martha purchased Central Place, the building next door was empty and also needed to be cleaned out and remodeled. They decided to send several letters to the owner without receiving a reply. Twenty months later, through the hard work of Alicia at Great American Title, the liens were released, and 24 E Washington St became their next project.
They prayed about what Marionville needed next and knew it had to be a place where locals could come and gather to have community downtown—a place where we could put our feet under the table and belong. The Gathering will be a place to get a cup of coffee or soda, something made locally to nibble on, and plenty of places to sit and chat. Martha dreams of "gathering” local business wares to sell, Christian books & gifts, a stage where local talent can be shared, and many more ideas are churning. She also dreams of volunteers who will pour cups of coffee and be a listening ear.
So now - let’s share a few pictures of the beginning and the progress made so far.
