John C. Hieber Building

The John C. Hieber Building is a historic commercial building located at Utica in Oneida County, New York.

Description and history

It was built in 1893, and is a five-story, rectangular, flat-roofed, red brick structure, 60 feet by 100 feet, with a random ashlar stone foundation. It was designed by Utica architect Frederick H. Gouge as a combined sales and warehouse facility.[2]

The building was owned by the Utica Children's Museum from 1979 to 2020, when Robert Esche's development company Mohawk Valley Garden bought the building, and the museum relocated.[3] The first floor is now occupied by a restaurant.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 2007.[1]
