The Theodore Krumberg Building is a historic commercial building and former bank in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in the Italianate style in 1871,[1] the Krumberg Building is one of the most significant structures in Over-the-Rhine when considered from an architectural point of view, due to its size and its location at the intersection of Main and Twelfth Streets.[2]

Theodore Krumberg erected the present building in the early 1870s as a home for his dry goods store; part of the building was employed for retailing purposes, while other parts served as a warehouse for his business. Krumberg chose many elaborate elements for his building: the walls are built of brick, but many significant elements are made of smooth sandstone, such as the lintels, an ornate cornice, and bracketed lug sills.[2] Additionally, certain details are made of marble or iron.[3] Measuring four stories tall, the Krumberg Building features a massive facade many bays wide; throughout its exterior, the Italianate style is evident.[2]

In 1982, the Theodore Krumberg Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for inclusion because of its historically significant architecture.[1] One year later, most of Over-the-Rhine was added to the Register as a historic district,[1] and the Krumberg Building qualified as one of its hundreds of contributing properties.[4]
