The Home Building Association Bank was built in 1914 and opened on August 25, 1915, as The Home Building Association Company, commonly known as "The Old Home". It was one of three banks designed by Sullivan in 1914, the other two being in
Grinnell, Iowa, and in
West Lafayette, Indiana. In 1942, the Home Building Association Bank was sold to William Camlin. From 1943 to 1946, Sanitary Meat Market occupied the building, and from 1946 to 1973, Symon's Best Jewelry Company took over. The building was added to the
National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 1973. From 1979 to 1983, the building was occupied by Mutual Federal Savings and Loan Association. Tiffany's Ice Cream Parlor was the last business in the building, from 1984 to 2007. The building was donated in December 2013 to the Licking County Foundation, which planned to restore the building. When the renovation was complete, Explore Licking County, the county's convention and visitors bureau, was to move into the space. In 2016, basement rehabilitation began, and was completed that October. Exterior restoration took place from May 2019 to 2021, restoring the building's facades. Interior work, the third stage of the project, involved fundraising in 2023, and is expected to be completed in 2024. ==Images==
