The Garver Brothers Store was a historic commercial structure in the village of Strasburg, Ohio, United States. A simple commercial building in the village's downtown, it held a prominent place in the community and surrounding region. Named a historic site in the 1980s, it was destroyed by arson in 2010.ArchitectureThe store building was a composite structure: the walls built partially of brick and partially of concrete, while smaller elements featured both stone and wood. A simple rectangle in its plan, and built without a specific architectural style, the store was three stories tall with a five-bay facade: an arched entrance was placed in the center, framed by two large display windows on either side. On the upper stories, each of the five was divided into three smaller bays, and each floor featured similarly sized windows in each of the fifteen smaller bays. To the side, narrower windows faced an alley, with a metal fire escape providing access from the third floor.
