The building was constructed for George Lilienthal's printing and bookbinding business and served that use for seventy-one years. Reviewers also noted its contribution to the industrial and commercial development of Zanesville.","narrative":"Built in 1905 at 44 South Sixth Street in Zanesville, this three-story masonry building was designed to house a printing and bookbinding business. Its beige-brick facade is the most decorative feature, with a wood-and-metal storefront, two ground-floor storerooms, and cantilevered oriels on the upper floors flanking a recessed center bay. A triangular pediment over the third-floor window carries the name \"Lilienthal.\" Inside, a large industrial space on the ground floor originally held the print shop, while the upper stories contain four apartments with much of their original woodwork, including fine mantels. George Lilienthal, a Zanesville native born in 1860, bought a print shop in 1879 and a bindery in 1891, then commissioned this building for his growing business. The firm remained here until 1976, when his son George closed it. It was then the oldest printing business in the city, and the building is recognized for its role in local industrial and commercial development.","period_of_significance":"1905","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"The upper-story apartments are described as having deteriorated recently through neglect, and the rear porch and stairs are deteriorated.
