Last weekend I went on the Queen City Underground Tour and loved it. Here are some of the shots I got on the tour.
The Cincinnati Color Company building, which houses a boxing ring in which Ezzard Charles fought.
In this building George Cox, Cincinnati’s political boss, wheeled and dealed. And, it was in there that the idea was had to have a baseball world series!
St. Francis Seraph played an integral role in the earlier history of Cincinnati, especially when it came to proving help to the poor, which they still do today.
This was a beer garden at one point in time that featured performances by the strongest many in Cincinnati. Later it became part of the set for Rage in Harlem starring Gregory Hines. It was also home to The Warehouse, a nightclub.
If you’ve not been on the Queen City Underground Tour, I highly recommend it. They do a good job of highlighting the fabulous history of the Over-the-Rhine community in Cincinnati and you get access to building you would never get to enter otherwise.
