This is our newest and 5th historic photo walk downtown. We will start at Fountain Square, Cincinnati’s main public space since 1871. Enlarged and remodeled in 2005 it is home to concerts, restaurants, offices and just plain relaxation. Our most notable landmark, Tyler Davidson Fountain, dedicated also in 1871. Just down the street is Carew Tower, built 1930 and adjoining and ornate Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, combining to make one to our nation’s finest French Art Deco ensembles.

Then we will see the former Terrace Plaza Hotel, an icon of American Modernism and the Cincinnatian Hotel, our top surviving French Second Empire Building from 1882.

Race Street historic district and it’s 24 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
