It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] HistoryIsaac Bearinger was born in Ontario, and as a young man came to Michigan to work in the lumber industry. He began as a cook's helper, rose through the ranks, and finally engaged in a partnership to log timberlands. his logging interests eventually spread over multiple states and into Canada, and Bearinger amassed a considerable fortune. With his wealth, he organized several businesses in Saginaw, including the American Commercial and Savings Bank, the Saginaw Brick Paving Company, and the Union Park Racetrack. In 1893, he constructed the first fireproof building on the east side of Saginaw, the Bearinger Fireproof Building, designed by Saginaw architects W. T. Cooper and Frederick Beckbissinger. The building held stores on the first floor and offices above.[2] Isaac Bearinger continued to own the building until his death in 1904, after which his son, James I. Bearinger, inherited the building. James Bearinger died in 1957, and the building was transferred to his family, who sold to Detroit lawyers James O. Thompson and Irving A. August in 1972. The building was sold again in 1979, and again in 2002. The building was vacated in 2008, and resold multiple times afterward until it was foreclosed on in 2013.[3] In 2015, it was purchased by the Saginaw Economic Development Corporation.[4] DescriptionThe Bearinger Building is a six-story Chicago-inspired building constructed of brick and steel, and is faced with red brick. Five arches run across the facade from the second to the fifth floor. The sixth floor has ribbon windows, above which there was once a decorative cornice. A limestone facing has been placed over the first floor.[2] GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2013a}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Michigan}}2. ^1 {{citation | title = NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM: Bearinger Building | author1 = Marlia Hoover | author2 = Janet Kreger | date = February 1982 | url = https://catalog.archives.gov/id/25338367}} 3. ^{{cite news | title = Saginaw's historic Bearinger Building to be sold at public auction | date = November 12, 2015 | author = Mark Tower | newspaper = Saginaw News}} 4. ^{{cite news | title = Historic Bearinger Building bought by Saginaw Economic Development Corp. | date = October 9, 2015 | author = Mark Tower | newspaper = Saginaw News}} {{Michigan-NRHP-stub}} 3 : National Register of Historic Places in Saginaw County, Michigan|Chicago school architecture in Michigan|Buildings and structures completed in 1893 |
