Overview
This historic commercial building, originally the Piqua Edison Electric Illumination Company (circa 1884), is located in downtown Piqua. As one of only four original Edison-era power station buildings remaining in the United States, the property is situated directly across from Lock 9 Park and the Trevino Performance Pavilion, benefiting from high visibility and foot traffic due to community events.

Masonry repointing and a front window rebuild were completed, rear masonry repairs and front limestone caps were added in 2023, along with a new rubber membrane installed on the front roof, new rear siding and window, and the entire building's exterior painted. The property has a lot size of 0.13 acres and a property size of 1990 square feet.
