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.
