The facade dates from about 1895 with a remodeling about 1922.","why_significant":"It is one of only two buildings in its block, and one of four in the five-block area around Canton's public square, that retain the look of the city's late 19th and early 20th century commercial center. It is also tied to the Dewalt family, who owned the site from 1840. It represents a commercial building type with classical details and wide tripartite windows influenced by Chicago-style buildings.","narrative":"Standing at 122 Market Avenue North, this narrow three-story commercial block faces Canton's Central Plaza and the Stark County Courthouse. Its yellow brick facade has stone trim, a cornice with a central cartouche reading \"Dewalt Block,\" and brick details that suggest brackets and fleurons. Stone drip moldings and lintels top the upper windows, and the ground-floor storefront was covered with temporary panels to deter vandalism. The site belonged to the Dewalt family from 1840. Earlier buildings stood there, including a commercial structure built about 1860, and the present facade dates from the 1920s, when a new neighboring bank prompted a facelift. Demolitions have left the Dewalt Building and the former Harter Bank as the only two early twentieth-century survivors on this side of the block. It is also a good local example of a commercial type with classical detail and wide tripartite windows influenced by Chicago-style design.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900-","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and early 20th century commercial style, with classical details and Chicago-style influence","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Described as deteriorated and altered, with the storefront covered by temporary panels to prevent vandalism; restoration of the street facade was reported as underway.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.451001-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003645.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003645/46e41ff6d8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003645/46e41ff6d8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dewalt_Building,_122_Market_Ave.,_N,_Canton,_OH_7-23-2010_1-10-36_PM.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dewalt_Building,_122_Market_Ave.,_N,_Canton,_OH_7-23-2010_1-10-36_PM.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991398","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138684920"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/stark-county/dewalt-building-82003645/"}
