Meyer.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance in architecture, as one of the finest of the early 20th-century downtown 'flats' built during Zanesville's ceramics-driven industrial boom. Its picturesque massing blends Gothic Revival and Queen Anne elements. Most of the early flats have been razed.","narrative":"Standing at the corner of 7th Street and Elberon Avenue in Zanesville, this apartment and commercial building dates to about 1910 and was built in two stages. Its tapestry brick walls are enlivened by corbels, cast stone, shingled panels and sawn trim. Features include curvilinear stepped gables, ogee-arched dormers, lancet-arched entries, a cast iron balcony balustrade and a pair of gable-roofed oriels along Elberon Avenue. A rear addition has recessed balconies, and the name Alameda appears in locally produced mosaic tile. The building reflects Zanesville's early twentieth-century boom, when growth in the ceramics industry raised the demand for downtown housing and a series of flats was built. Most of those early flats have since been razed. The nomination credits the building's significance to its architecture, drawing on Gothic Revival and Queen Anne influences. It was probably designed by Harry C. Meyer, a prolific local architect, though this is not confirmed.","period_of_significance":"1900-; specific date ca. 1910","architect_builder":"probably Harry C.
