The reviewer's recommendation lists Criteria A and C.","narrative":"Market Street in Zanesville, Ohio, is the site of the Baltimore & Ohio Depot, built in 1883. The complex combines three attached brick structures: a passenger depot facing Market Street and two freight houses stretching north behind it. The designing engineer is unknown, but the work was divided among local tradesmen, including a brick mason, stone mason, plasterers, a painter, a tinsmith and a plumber. The passenger station is described as the most ornate of Zanesville's railroad depots. Its eclectic decoration includes stylized terra cotta inserts, imbricated wood shingling and brick ornament. Segmental arched windows are one-over-one on the passenger station and six-over-six on the freight houses. Large gable dormers on the east and west roof slopes have half-timbered stucco finishes, and the west dormer has side dormers giving a clear view along the tracks. The depot belongs to a group of Zanesville railroad depots listed together, and it was recommended for its historical association and its architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Designing engineer unknown; C.
