It illustrates the town's industrial growth along the railroad corridor. Its conversion to a garage during Prohibition reflects both the end of the distillery and the growing use of motor vehicles in the company's operations.","narrative":"Built around 1900 at 128 West Broadway in Tipp City, Ohio, this four-story brick warehouse once held whiskey for the Detrick Milling and Distilling Company. It sits on a stone foundation beside the railroad tracks and measures 120 by 55 feet, with segmental-arched window openings and a corbelled parapet on its north face. The Detrick brothers founded their milling business in 1885 and added a distillery in 1897, creating a complex that at one time included at least eight buildings. Only this building and one heavily altered neighbor survive. When Prohibition closed the distillery, the company became the Detrick Grain and Mercantile Company and converted the warehouse into a garage for about 60 vehicles by the early 1920s. Interior floors were removed and steel trusses added, yet exposed brick and structural members remain visible. The Detrick family business operated until its sale in 1949. The building was listed for its link to Tipp City's industrial history along the railroad corridor.","period_of_significance":"1900-1949","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other/early 20th century industrial warehouse","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Owned and used by a paint contracting company after several warehouse uses; it retains its industrial character, with some replaced windows and interior changes made during the garage conversion.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.272246-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/10000193.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000193/108e6eb515-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000193/108e6eb515-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Detrick_Milling_and_Distilling_Company.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Detrick_Milling_and_Distilling_Company.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985919","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138589478"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/miami-county/detrick-milling-and-distilling-company-10000193/"}
