Beasley Building

Constructed at the turn of the 20th century, this industrial building has been named a historic site.

Built of brick with elements of iron, the Beasley Building is a three-story structure with a five-bay facade.

Each bay features paired Romanesque Revival windows above a beltcourse with cornice, while an entablature of geometric shapes surrounds the building near its roofline.

Charles Higgins, a local miller, was one of the partners in the firm of Eldridge and Higgins, which bought the building's site in 1904 and began construction, although it was then purchased by Frank Beasley, a prominent miller from nearby Amesville.

[1] One year later, the building was awarded approximately $1.1 million in federal rehabilitation tax credits.
