Charles Wintzer Building

The Charles Wintzer Building, located in downtown Wapakoneta, Ohio, is a historic brick commercial structure built in 1872. Originally serving as a tannery and residence for the Wintzer family, it showcases a blend of German and Italianate architectural styles. The building has been a significant industrial site for over a century and was recognized as a historic place in 2010 due to its well-preserved architecture and its role in the local economy. It remains the headquarters of G.A. Wintzer & Son, the oldest locally owned business in Auglaize County, making it a notable landmark for both tourists and researchers interested in industrial history and architecture.
