Summary
[edit]DescriptionCentral Fairmount Building and Loan Company Building, South Fairmount, Cincinnati, OH - 51889935163.jpg |
English: Built in 1935-1936, this limestone-clad Art Deco-style bank building stands on Harrison Avenue near Fairmount Avenue in Cincinnati’s South Fairmount neighborhood. The original building, consisting of the central wing, was built to house the Central Fairmount Building and Loan Company, founded in the 1880s, and featured a large front lobby and banking hall, a decorative vestibule adorned with clocks over the doors on the exterior and interior, a rear office area, a private office in the southwest corner of the main floor, a vault in the northwest corner of the main floor, two restrooms with marble stalls and hexagonal tile floors, and a basement with garage door openings on either end. The interior of the building featured extensive and ornate decorative walnut paneling, a decorative ceiling in the banking hall made up of fiber ceiling tiles arranged in an Art Deco pattern, a herringbone linoleum floor with decorative accents, brushed nickel door hardware, and half-height partitions in the main banking hall to help ensure an efficient flow of customers and business through the building. The building was modified in 1949 with the addition of two small wings on either side of the original structure, housing additional offices, a new boiler room, a second safe in the basement, an air conditioning system, and a single basement garage entrance. The original chandeliers in the banking hall were replaced with a pair of large linear fluorescent fixtures, and four original window openings were retained, and two were enlarged to allow circulation into the new wings. The interior of the additions feature walnut paneling like the original building, but with a far more streamlined and simplified design, as well as simpler nickel hardware, and tile ceilings with integrated linear fluorescent lights. The building remained in this configuration until a third and final renovation carried out between 1978 and 1980, which saw the addition of a small wing in the northwest corner of the building containing two offices and an additional stairwell, the creation of a break room in the basement, the reconfiguration of the lobby and replacement of the original banking counters, and the partitioning of the large office in the north wing added in 1949 into two smaller offices and a hallway. Shortly after the final renovation, the Central Fairmount Building and Loan Company, founded in the 1880s, was consolidated with the Gem Savings Bank of Dayton, Ohio, becoming a branch bank for Gem Savings, and only remaining open a few years in the 1980s before the branch was closed due to a lack of business and financial problems of Gem Savings, which was eventually acquired by National City Corp in 1989 due to financial insolvency and mismanagement. In 1985, the building was bought by Bill Spetz, whom ran an engineering firm out of the building from that time until about 2019, keeping the building’s features preserved and well-maintained during its time under his stewardship. The building was sold to a new owner in 2022. |
