The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company Building was a historic building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was built c. 1902 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1973.[1] The building was demolished in November 1973.[2]
The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company Building was a two-story brick building, and one of the most ornate commercial buildings in the city. It measured 100 x 120 ft. It had ornate north and west facades of marble over brick, while the east and south facades were simply of brick.[2]
The building was constructed for Samuel B. Hartman's Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, makers of the Peruna medicine. It was first built c. 1902, was nearly completed by 1904 when a worker's torch ignited packing materials, lighting the building on fire. The building was salvaged and fully occupied by 1906.[2]
