Brick Bar Building, Toledo

The Brick Bar Building, constructed in 1934, is a notable example of Tudor Revival architecture in Toledo. This building, with its distinctive stucco and brick-clad exterior, stands out due to its half-timbering and front-gable roof, which evoke the charm and character of medieval English architecture. The facade is adorned with decorative brackets and patterned brickwork, contributing to its historic and aesthetic appeal. Despite the second-story windows being boarded up, the building retains its architectural integrity and continues to be a significant part of Toledo鈥檚 architectural landscape.

A mural graces the side facade of the Brick Bar Building, adding a vibrant and artistic touch to the structure. The first-floor facade features large plate glass windows, which were typical of commercial buildings of its time, allowing for ample natural light and an inviting street presence. The brick knee wall, combined with the half-timbering, creates a cohesive and visually engaging design that captures the essence of the Tudor Revival style.

The Brick Bar Building is a contributing structure in the Toledo Central Business District Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022. This designation highlights the building's importance within the context of Toledo's historical and cultural heritage. As part of this historic district, the Brick Bar Building helps to tell the story of the city鈥檚 development and architectural evolution during the early 20th century.
