The Ohio Art Company was founded in 1908 by Dr. Henry S. Winzeler. Ohio Art’s brick offices on West High Street in Bryan were built in 1912 with an addition in 1965. The building reflects the long and successful history of the company. Inside the Ohio Art building are pristine mid-century modern offices. The mid-century modern style from the 1950s to the mid-1970s uses a blend of natural and synthetic materials to create a simple appearance while maximizing functionality.

Floor-to-ceiling dark wood paneling lines the interior of the building. The hallways guide you with a beautifully polished terrazzo floor that complements the Honduran mahogany wood paneling. Spacious offices with fireplaces and stained glass windows are commonplace at Ohio Art. The offices look like a set for the TV series *Mad Men*. The historic Mid-Century Modern offices of Ohio Art have been preserved by the Killgallons.

Ohio Art’s dedication to their history is shown throughout the building with framed original architectural watercolors hanging on the wall, display cases full of their products spanning over 100 years, and documents related to the original construction of the building.
