To the north is the Literary Club, an example of Georgian style architecture. At the southwest perimeter is the Guilford School, original site of Fort Washington. We will proceed onto fourth street, our rendition of Chicago’s Michigan avenue. To the west of Broadway is Christ Episcopal Church (1835, rebuilt 1957). Across Sycamore is the classical revival-style Cincinnati Gas & Electric Building, 1929. Then our tallest tower, Great American Insurance Building will rise up on your left.
The next block, Walnut to Race, Fourth Street Historic District, turn of the century streetscape. Then to the center of our city, Fountain Square and Tyler Davidson Fountain.
