It was expanded in 1925 and altered at the storefront in the 1930s; the nomination also refers to it as the Feller Building.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the building is primarily significant for its architecture, being one of the few remaining early high-rises in downtown Harrisburg and the most fully developed Sullivanesque building in the city. It also cites a secondary local significance in commerce, since it was the first high-rise on Market Street and housed the Mechanics Trust Company above a two-story banking floor.","narrative":"Nine stories of steel frame and glazed terra-cotta rise on the southeast corner of Third and Market Streets in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Completed mainly in 1914, the building has a ground-floor bank with offices above, organized in a tripartite base, shaft and capital. Its large glazed terra-cotta tiles clad the upper facades, with diamond-shaped terra-cotta panels and keystones over the windows. The design draws on the Chicago School work of Sullivan while also blending Beaux Arts classical details such as triglyphs and dentils at the cornices. Architects Mowbray and Uffinger designed it. The building was expanded in 1925 using matching materials, and its storefront was remodeled in the 1930s. It was the first high-rise on Market Street and housed the Mechanics Trust Company above a two-story banking floor. The nomination regards it as the most fully developed Sullivanesque building remaining in Harrisburg, and as the only major structure in the area with this exterior finish.","period_of_significance":"1900-1924","architect_builder":"Mowbray & Uffinger","architectural_style":"Sullivanesque","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Continual commercial use until the late 1970s is stated; the form describes the interior and exterior as restorable.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:34.470278-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/82001534.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001534/c54d06e1a3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001534/c54d06e1a3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Warren LeMay","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kunkel_Building,_Market_Street_and_3rd_Street,_Harrisburg,_PA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Warren LeMay</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kunkel_Building,_Market_Street_and_3rd_Street,_Harrisburg,_PA.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"84003198","name":"Old Downtown Harrisburg Commercial Historic District (Boundary Increase)","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/old-downtown-harrisburg-commercial-historic-district-boundary-increase-84003198/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995791","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116192886"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/dauphin-county/kunkel-building-82001534/"}
