The Astrup Company Building is a building at 2397 W 25th St. in Cleveland, built in 1919 in the Late 19th/Early 20th Century Commercial Style. It was designed by the Allen-Osborn Company, architects Virgil D. Allen and Irwin S. Osborn, and built by John H. Kirk.
Why it's listed
It was listed in the National Register in 2018 under criteria A and C, with local significance in commerce and industry. The nomination gives its period of significance as 1919 to 1968, reflecting the 1919 fire that destroyed three buildings on the site.
Physical character
Its walls are brick, concrete and stone on foundations of poured concrete and stone, with flat roofs framed in steel and wood truss. An exposed concrete frame rests on mushroom columns, and floors are wood block or terrazzo, some laid in tile with the Astrup name. Industrial sash windows light the building, and its parapet has stone coping.
Historical context
The Astrup Company, founded in 1876 as a sailmaking company, occupied the site from 1882, and by 1922 its hardware sales had surpassed its awning and tent sales. During the 1940s the company manufactured canvas airplane hangars for World War II, and in 2007 it was acquired by Glen Raven, Inc.
