Louis Sullivan Building Tour

Explore Licking County offers a tour of the historic Louis Sullivan Building located at 1 North 3rd Street in Newark, Ohio. One of only eight banks designed by noted American architect Louis Sullivan, it is both a national treasure and a treasured piece of Central Ohio's heritage. The Louis Sullivan Building of Newark has graced the Courthouse Square for over a century. It was built in 1914 and opened its doors on August 25, 1915, as The Home Building Association Company, commonly known as "The Old Home." Through the years, the Sullivan Building was also home to a butcher shop, a jewelry store, and eventually an ice cream parlor. With each new tenant the interior was altered, but the building's historic and architectural significance never changed. In 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
