History
[edit]The seventeen story structure was constructed in 1906 by Toledo business partners A.L. Spitzer and C.M. Spitzer.[2] The Spitzer cousins named the building after their grandfather, Nicholas Spitzer. The building was designed by Norval Bacon and Thomas Huber, partners of the Toledo architectural firm of Bacon & Huber.[3] The Nicholas Building was described in 1910 as one of the "largest and most modern office buildings in the Northwest”, the area known today as the East North Central States.
