High Street in Dublin (Washington Township), Franklin County, Ohio, dated 1845 on the Ohio Historic Inventory sheet. It sits on a corner lot in the central business district.","why_significant":"The inventory sheet records it as the Dublin Christian Church, used for worship until 1871, when a new church was built. It is listed under local history and architecture, as a largely intact stone structure with quoins and a pediment, though the doorway and windows have been altered and a porch added.","narrative":"Built in 1845 at 53 N. High Street in Dublin, Franklin County, Ohio, this small stone building served as the Dublin Christian Church until 1871, when a new church was constructed. It is a rectangular structure measuring about 25 by 66 feet, with large stone quoins at the corners and a pediment, and it is thought to resemble other early stone buildings on South High Street. Later changes altered the doorway and windows, and a porch was added that the survey described as unfortunate, though it noted the porch could be removed and the building remains essentially intact. At one time the building was used as a residence, and it now houses offices. It stands on a corner lot in the central business district, with a gable roof of metal and a stone foundation. Its importance lies in its link to the early religious life of Dublin and in its surviving stone construction.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Currently used as offices; exterior condition is listed as good.
