Englebry's, Dr., Office

Dr. Englebry's Office is a two-story brick commercial building in Vermilion, Ohio, dating to about 1900. It sits on the west side of Main Street between Liberty Avenue and the ConRail crossing, and it is the last in a row of commercial buildings along that block. It was built as the office of Doctor Englebry and remains in commercial use. The flat-roofed rectangular building has a stone foundation, a four-bay front and about 30 feet of street frontage. Its Italianate character shows in the stone trim above the windows, the slightly arched window openings, a stone string course at the top, and a crowning central pediment that holds the namestone. At street level, large plate glass windows are shaded by a retractable awning. The building was recorded as a good example of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture, and it was included in the Vermilion-Harbour Town multiple resource area. Street trees were recently planted in front, and landscaping was planned for the lot on the south side.
