The Doctors' Building is a historic commercial structure in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.[1] Located on Garfield Place in the city's downtown, it is one of Cincinnati's few Late Gothic Revival commercial buildings.[2]

The Doctors' Building was designed by the firm of Tietig and Lee, one of Cincinnati's leading architectural firms in the early twentieth century.[2] Completed in 1923,[1] it was one of the firm's most prominent commissions; it was Cincinnati's only large building erected for the sole purpose of providing space for doctors' offices, and its location on the southern side of a park ensures that it can be seen from a distance. Terracotta tiles cover the eight-story facade,[2] which is structured primarily of brick,[3] although reinforced concrete was also employed in construction.[2] Some additional elements are constructed of metal or marble.[3] The building is topped with a mostly flat roof with a small penthouse.[2]

In 1986, the Doctors' Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] It qualified for the Register both because of its place in local history and because of its well-preserved historic architecture.[3] Key to these two statuses was its place as the area's only large building constructed for physicians and as one of the most important buildings designed by Tietig and Lee.[2]
