from History of the Republican Party in Ohio. Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1898.
"He has the distinction of having the largest office building owned by a single individual in the world. This is known as the Valentine Building, the erection of which was begun in 1894, and it was completed the following year. It is only four stories in height and contains two hundred offices, in which are included all the city government offices, fifteen stores, a private law library for the tenants, the Elks lodge room and a theater. The latter is probably the finest structure of the kind in the United States. It seats two thousand people, is absolutely fire-proof, and has its own electric plant and stage equipments, while its ornamentation and furnishings are really magnificent."
