Its portico details, including twenty-channel fluted columns and a subtle echinus profile, follow Greek models such as the Parthenon. The nomination also argues that listing would keep it from being treated as expendable during downtown revitalization.","narrative":"This bank building at 167 South High Street in Columbus was completed in 1912 to designs by Richards, McCarty & Bulford, with James Steward & Co as contractor. It is a rectangular limestone structure on a granite base. The front facade has a Greek Doric pedimented portico with two columns set between antae and an attic story. The frieze carries triglyphs and medallioned metopes. The Town Street side is pilastered, with large windows lighting the banking room, which rises three stories (40 feet) inside and has a coffered, polychromed ceiling and a Greek fret belt. The original bronze doors were replaced with aluminum ones, but the building is otherwise largely as built. It was listed as one of the most significant examples of the Greek Doric order in Columbus. Its column flutes number exactly twenty, and the echinus profile and proportions follow Greek precedents. Supporters also wanted it recognized because nearby downtown revitalization might otherwise put it at risk.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1912)","architect_builder":"Richards, McCarty & Bulford, Architect; James Steward & Co, Contractor","architectural_style":"Neo-Classic Revival (Greek Doric order)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and in good condition, largely as originally completed in 1912; the original bronze doors and grilles were replaced by aluminum doors and trim.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:11.884255-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003002.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003002/0ed18f2c2e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003002/0ed18f2c2e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Ɱ","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ohio_National_Bank_02.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ɱ</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ohio_National_Bank_02.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988372","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_National_Bank","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q97356242"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/ohio-national-bank-80003002/"}
