History of the Building
The three-story building, including basement, is built of Indiana (Bedford) limestone. Colonel Edward Deeds announced in July of 1915 that he would gift a headquarters building to the Miami Conservancy District. The building was designed and constructed in about six months, with staff moving in at the beginning of 1916. The lobby features original light fixtures, staircase and moldings. The first-floor ceilings are coffered and feature larger replicas of the original lighting fixtures.
Awards
In 2005, MCD received the Community Preservation Award of Merit from The Ohio Historic Preservation Office of the Ohio Historical Society for the rehabilitation of the 1916 Miami Conservancy District office building, stating it was "an outstanding contribution to historic preservation in Ohio."
