The facade is largely intact, though the cornice may have been slightly altered.","narrative":"This small one-story commercial building at 4024-4026 Eastern Avenue in Cincinnati's Columbia-Tusculum area dates to 1906. It has a frame structure with clapboard siding, a stone foundation, a flat roof and a rectangular plan. Its storefront has large windows set between wooden pilasters, with plain doorways. The building was constructed at the same time as the adjacent building, and the two sit in a small cluster of commercial buildings on a busy street, close to the road. The cornice may have been slightly altered, but the facade is otherwise intact. The inventory identifies the wooden storefront as the reason for its significance, calling it a rare architectural feature in Cincinnati. The building was originally commercial and was recorded as being used for storage at the time of the 1978 survey, with its exterior in fair condition. It was included in the Columbia-Tusculum multiple resource area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Commercial","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in fair condition (exterior) and used for storage; the form notes an addition and alterations.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.255053-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002695.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002695/89d422607f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002695/89d422607f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kestler_Building_site.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kestler_Building_site.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985440","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kestler_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6395232"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/kestler-building-79002695/"}
