Otto Schlemmer Building is a historic commercial building located at Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana. It was originally built in 1854, and renovated to its present form in 1889. It is a two-story brick building with wood and pressed metal trim. The front facade features an arcade of six two-story, round-headed brick arches that form a gallery at the second level. The use of the Roman arch, denticulated frieze, bracketing, and a projecting central pediment are reflective of the Victorian Renaissance style.[2]: 2, 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] It is located in the Crawfordsville Commercial Historic District.
