Notes
  • Significance: Architecturally, the Cambrian Block is the most monumental and distinguished building in Jackson, Ohio. It overshadows the adjacent Jackson County Court House and contributes strongly to the historic character of a yet unregistered but significant historic district of which it is the centerpiece. It was designed by Frank L. Packard, one of Ohio's most distinguished turn-of-the century architects. Historically the Cambrian reflects the short lived optimism of this coal mining and iron processing community at the peak of its prosperity before its demise as an industrial center. It represents the personal and community aspirations of Edwin Jones, its builder. A Welshman by heritage, in a community of many Welshmen, he labeled his proud building with the Roman name for Welsh, "Cambrians."
