It is also significant architecturally as a well maintained example of this type of warehouse built in the first quarter of the twentieth century.","narrative":"Built around 1900, this one-story brick warehouse at 920 9th Avenue sits in an industrial part of Columbus, Georgia, close to the city's rail terminals. It has a wood truss roof, a low-pitched roofline with rooftop vents for air circulation, and canopies over loading docks fitted with double strap-hinged doors. Simple brick pilasters and arched windows with brick hood moulding are its only ornament, and the windows are paired 4/4 double-hung sash alongside smaller single 1/1 sash. The building does not appear on the 1889 or 1895 Sanborn insurance maps, and it first shows up in the 1946 city directory, when Dan Joseph Co., a food brokerage, occupied it. By 1947 Fibertex Products, a maker of seat covers, shared the space. Its significance rests on its role in local history, as a place to hold freight moving in and out of the rail terminals and nearby industries, and on its architecture as a well kept example of an early twentieth-century warehouse.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Industrial warehouse","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and well maintained; current use is warehouse.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.954702-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001142.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206416","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134400515"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-920-ninth-avenue-80001142/"}
