Its design is influenced by the Second Renaissance Revival style, seen in a projecting metal cornice with scroll modillions and dentils, a stepped parapet, an arcaded third story and horizontal divisions marked by stone belt courses. Contrasting brick imitates stone rustication and quoins, and the facade carries intricate patterned brickwork, carved stone panels and iron tie rods of fleur-de-lis design. The builder and architect are unknown. The building is considered important as one of the few turn-of-the-century commercial structures remaining in the central business district. Over forty-five businesses have occupied it, among them an interurban traction company from 1902 to 1919, a cigar manufacturer, a uniform maker and two restaurants. Storefronts and interiors have been altered, and the building was described as deteriorating, with rehabilitation planned.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Second Renaissance Revival influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and used commercially, but described as underutilized and deteriorating, with rehabilitation plans proposed by the owners.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.950406-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003569.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988428","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_Third_Commercial_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105082051"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/long-and-third-commercial-building-82003569/"}
