It acknowledges that the building is less impressive than some of his other banks, but still considers it an important structure.","narrative":"Designed by Chicago architect Louis Sullivan and built in 1914, this three-story bank stands at 6 West Main Street in Newark, Ohio. It measures roughly sixty-five by thirty-five feet, rests on a stone foundation, and has a two-story stone facade. Ornament includes foliated cartouches, a lion holding a shield on the south side, original stained glass, and leaded glass in the second-floor windows. Mosaic panels reading \"The Home Building Association Company\" and \"The Old Home\" are believed to survive beneath later signs. Alterations include enlarged first-floor openings, lowered window sills on the south side, and a reset corner doorway. The interior has been vastly changed. The building is noted as one of several banks Sullivan designed late in his career, after his partnership with Dankmar Adler ended in 1895. Though less impressive than some of his other banks, it is regarded as an important surviving example of his work.","period_of_significance":"20th Century (built 1914)","architect_builder":"Louis Sullivan (Chicago architect)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, in good condition, and altered; the first-floor openings were enlarged and the interior was vastly altered.
