The town was platted in 1816 and the district's 275 contributing resources date from the 1830s to the mid-20th century.","why_significant":"The district shows how a small county-seat town developed from an early canal-era village into a prosperous railroad and clay-products center. Most of it was built during the commercial and industrial boom of 1870 to 1930. It keeps its 1816 street grid, Logan brick paving and buildings, and a concentrated set of commercial, civic, religious and residential buildings.","narrative":"Logan's historic district covers roughly 62 acres of the Hocking River valley town in Hocking County, Ohio. It includes the downtown commercial blocks along Main and Market Streets, the surrounding neighborhoods, seven churches, the county courthouse and the post office. Thomas Worthington laid out the town in 1816, and his street grid and the public square, now Worthington Park, remain intact. The oldest building is the George Smith House of about 1831. Most of the district was built between 1870 and 1930, when the railroad and a thriving clay-products industry brought growth. Locally made brick appears in buildings, foundations, porches, sidewalks and paved streets, often glazed or patterned. Architecture includes Italianate commercial blocks, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses, Late Gothic Revival churches, a Neo-Classical Revival courthouse designed by Frank Packard, and a mid-century Art Deco bank. The district was recognized for its associations with the town's settlement and industrial growth and for its architecture, with 275 contributing resources.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Frank Packard (Hocking County Court House); H.
