Water St. in Sandusky, close to the waterfront in an area of commercial and manufacturing buildings. Its present form dates from a 1906-1907 rebuilding that combined three earlier structures: a three-story brick building on the corner, a three-story stone building, and a Norman-style stone building erected in 1855. The exterior features a corbeled brick cornice, corbeled brick decoration around strings of windows, and glazed Flemish bond headers in every sixth row. The first floor front is rock-faced limestone ashlar with sandstone pilasters and lintels at the entries. Hinde & Dauch established its first factory and office here in 1898 and kept operating while the new building rose around them. The firm later became a national leader in corrugated shipping boxes. It sold the building in 1920 to American Crayon Co. for its Kroma Color Division, so the structure housed two of Sandusky's most important industries.","period_of_significance":"1906-1907","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Recorded as vacant, with exterior condition listed as good; the building has been altered.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.377979-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001406.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001406/631e4719bf-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001406/631e4719bf-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hinde_and_Dauch_Paper,_Water_Street_facility.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hinde_and_Dauch_Paper,_Water_Street_facility.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100001899","name":"Downtown Sandusky Commercial Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/downtown-sandusky-commercial-historic-district-100001899/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985014","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5765932"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/hinde-and-dauch-paper-co-82001406/"}
