Underwriters Salvage Corps (Cincinnati, Ohio)
The Underwriters Salvage Corps is a historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. 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.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 681-682.〕
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.〔
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.〔 A brick building with a stone foundation,〔(Underwriters Salvage Corps ), Ohio Historical Society, 2007. Accessed 2010-11-02.〕 it is a Queen Anne structure three-and-a-half stories tall.〔
In 1982, the Underwriters Salvage Corps was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔 Key to this designation was its place in local history,〔 for it was the only Cincinnati-area corporation that worked closely with both insurance companies and the city's fire department.〔
