The Sullivan Building

According to a post on the Wright Society Newsletter, the Sullivan Building in Newark, Ohio, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's mentor Louis Sullivan, has undergone a $14 million, decade-long restoration to transform it into a unique tourism center. A rededication ceremony was held for the building in October 2025.

The Sullivan Building was built in 1914 and opened its doors on August 25, 1915, as The Home Building Association Company. According to the Licking County Foundation website, in addition to the bank, the building was also home to "a butcher shop, jewelry store and ice cream parlor ...before it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973." The building, which serves as a visitor welcome center for Licking County, also hosts pop-up galleries featuring artists and music on the first Saturday of each month.
