Built in 1913? Wow!!
This grandfather looks really healthy and in the pink of health. Just balding at the top though:D

Evergrey April 27th, 2003, 12:43 AM Thanks Napptown! I'm glad somebody added this brilliant building...
a 10/10 for this classic... so old... yet so beautiful... love the columns at the top
renell April 27th, 2003, 12:14 PM 7.5/10 it's a classic all right but the second pic made me reduce my rate to 7.5

Jasonhouse May 2nd, 2003, 06:17 PM I nice Cincy classic, but it's no Carew Tower.
I actually like the portly look of the massing, and the resulting oversized crown. I also like the simple yet elegant nightime lighting scheme. The signage at the top is a real detraction IMO.
7.0/10

I agree... I hate corporate logos at the tops of skyscrapers... and on this classic... it looks especially tacky.
The Messiah June 21st, 2003, 07:37 PM Apart from the logo it looks really good.
8.5/10

Not special!?!?!?!?
How many skyscrapers have you ever seen that were modeled after a mausoleum!?

Flat out amazing, especially in person. You can't beat this buidling. By far Ohio's best skyscrapers and one of the Midwest's greatest.

SChristopher October 22nd, 2004, 10:58 PM A great classic, I think it was painted in the recent future. Good and Solid with visually pleasing design...especially for 1913, groundbreaking! 8/10

wh92stang July 22nd, 2005, 05:12 PM Beautiful building. It's a classic, and I love the pillars. Looks especially nice at night when all the pillars are lit up. Hard to believe it was the 5th tallest in the world when it was built.
10/10
