Fort Industry Square is a row of commercial buildings in downtown Toledo, on Summit Street. Some of these buildings date back to the late Nineteenth/early Twentieth Centuries. It is named after the Fort Industry that existed on this site in the early 1800’s before Ohio was a state. The Fort Industry Block was built by Richard Mott in 1843. It was renovated in 1874 allowing for more commercial space. There are 16 parcels that were built from 1862 thru 1897, the last 2 were built in 1987 in conjunction with the opening of the Seagate Convention Centre. While the architects involved are unknown, the building all follow a Neoclassical design theme. The buildings served as a thriving commerce center in the downtown, including a steam plant to generate electricity, restaurants, jazz club, candy store,  and various offices and retail businesses. The entire block has been on the National Historic Registry since 2003. This most recent project is a Federal and State Historic Tax Credit Project requiring both local, state, and federal approval.
