The Ryan Building was built as the Mer-
chants Hotel, and later became the Ogden
House. The cream brick Greek Revival fa-
cade was remodeled about 1892 with two
metal-clad bays, and changes were made
at the roofline. Some of the original win-
dows are still visible on the east and west
sides of the facade.
Like the neighboring Ryan Building, this
buildingihad its origins as a hotel. The first
two stories were constructed in 1849, and
three additional stories were added in
1855.
The present facade dates from 1913 and
the decoration is based on brick and glazed
brick geometric motifs associated with the
Arts and Crafts style. In the twentieth cen-
tury, the building has been used for office
and retail purposes.
