Company History: When National Cash Register Company was formed during the last two decades of the 19th century, it had one product--cash registers. Today NCR Corporation, as it is now known, develops and markets a wide range of computer and terminal systems; office automation products; automated teller, data warehousing, and telecommunications services; semiconductor components; software; and business forms and supplies. Among NCR's claims to fame are its introduction of bar code scanning in 1974, its position as a world leader in paper roll products for cash registers, and the fact that fully 40 percent of the checks issued around the globe are cleared with NCR equipment. Origins NCR's first years were shaped in large part by John Henry Patterson, who was president from 1884 to 1921. Patterson's early emphasis on sales, his initiation of business practices that became standards for other companies and industries, and his pioneering efforts in industrial welfare made NCR a role model for other companies during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

However, his time was short stayed due to lack of funds, which prevented him from earning his graduate degree. Returning to Ohio, Deeds began work in Dayton for the Thresher Electric Company; here he earned $6.00 a week as an assistant draftsman. Within a year, he was promoted to the position of chief engineer, but resigned soon after and moved to another Dayton firm, the National Cash Register Company, where he would make his industrial mark. There he designed the plans for a new powerhouse that provided electricity to the plant.

The site includes a two-story, concrete block, stucco clad commercial building. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The building for the National Cash Register Company at 515 Caroline Avenue was built in 1929 for the very innovative and growing cash register company. NCR was founded by John Henry Patterson, who was an astute and capable business man, who guided NCR to become the most successful cash register manufacturing and sales company in the United States. He not only created a successful company, but he also created enlightened working conditions for his employees that were advanced for the times. The NCR building at 515 Caroline was dedicated on April 8, 1929, which was the 59th anniversary of the invention of the cash register. The building, which housed one of their many showrooms, was designed by famed architect, Joseph Finger of Houston. The building is a “finely detailed example of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture, not often seen in Houston.” Because of its small scale, its affinity is more with the domestic architecture of northern Italy. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE John Henry Patterson, who established the National Cash Register Company, “was born on December 13, 1844, near Dayton, Ohio.
