Located on Eighth Street in the city's downtown, it has historically been the home of a firm that worked together with both the Cincinnati Fire Department and local fire insurance companies.[2] Local insurance companies formed the Underwriters Salvage Corps in 1886 at the end of a four-year-long process of negotiations. As a salvage corps, their goal was largely to assist firefighters in danger zones: employees rushed to burning buildings to try to save both lives and property, and they were accorded the same status as official firefighters while at fire zones.[2] The present building was erected in 1897 under the direction of local contractor William Schuberth; its purpose was the storage of equipment and the housing of the Salvage Corps' employees who were on duty at any given point.[2] A brick building with a stone foundation,[3] it is a Queen Anne structure three-and-a-half stories tall.[2] In 1982, the Underwriters Salvage Corps was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Key to this designation was its place in local history,[3] for it was the only Cincinnati-area corporation that worked closely with both insurance companies and the city's fire department.[2] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^1 2 3 4 Owen, Lorrie K., ed.
