About this property

The East Fifth Street Historic District, located in East Liverpool, Ohio, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in November 1985. The district encompasses three blocks (4 acres (1.6 ha)) of downtown East Liverpool along East Fifth street between Market Street and Broadway. The district is significant because of its central position in the growing commerce of East Liverpool during the 19th and early 20th centuries as well as for its examples of Classic Revival architecture. Restoration of the former J.C. Penney Building, also known as the BOSS Building, began in 2024 as part of a $1.2 million incentive received from the state government.
