#SaveTheDennison.

Could you imagine walking up Main Street and not seeing The Dennison Hotel? The view just wouldn’t be the same without this historic building…

The building’s owners are working to get Historic Conservation Board approval for the demolition of the historic Dennison Hotel.

From UrbanCincy, “Built in 1890, the Dennison Hotel is located within the Main Street Historic District and has sat vacant for several years. In the past, the eight-story brick structure had served as a single-occupancy room hotel in what was at that time a seedy part of the central business district.

Over the past several months historic preservationists have been organizing themselves in an effort to track the status of this historic structure as rumors have swirled that the owners were interested in demolition.”

It would be a real shame to lose a historic building that’s such an iconic part of the landscape of downtown Cincinnati. Well, at least it is for us. It’s been part of of view every time we looked out the windows…

Or walked out our front door…

And I would hate to loose a couple of my favorite ghost signs in all of Cincinnati…

Constructing Cincinnati.

Working on the parking structure on Sycamore at Seventh Streets. 🙂

The parking structure on Sycamore between Seventh and Eighth Streets continues to rise higher and higher off the ground…

Constructing Cincinnati.

After being out of town for a week and half, it was interesting to see the progress they made on some of the projects going on around us in our little corner of downtown Cincinnati. The Holiday Inn at Broadway and Seventh Streets was showing signs of progress being made…

Especially when you look at the upper levels in comparison to this photo we took back before we left

And the massive parking structure across Seventh Street from us is almost has its’ second level complete

We still don’t understand exactly what’s happening at Lytle Park but it looks like they’re making progress as well

Things are always happening in downtown Cincinnati. It’s interesting to look back and see just how far these projects have already come along. 🙂

The new parking garage at the corner of Sycamore and Seventh Streets is onto the second level…

It’s pretty amazing how quickly it’s progressing. 🙂

Downtown details.

Here are some random photos from around downtown from throughout the last week.
The week got off to a really chilly start…

When we were walking Oscar one night, a whole bunch of fire trucks showed up for a false alarm at the P&G GO Towers…

Something happened to the lights in the stairwell in our building. Now the it’s eerily dark with a pretty creepy red tint to it…

We watch a lot of shows about ghostly hauntings. The way the stairwell is lit right now, we find ourselves watching for spirits lurking in the shadows out of the corner of our eyes…

We walked by some chilly broomball taking place on Fountain Square…

They’re making a bunch of progress on the new Holiday Inn on Seventh Street…

And of course, we took some walks down to Lytle Park…

The progress on whatever it is they’re doing to Lytle Tunnel underneath Lytle Park…

And just a couple cones hanging out on a Saturday night…

It’s really hard to walk around downtown and not take a bunch of photos. 🙂

Back to the grind. The tower crane was back to doing tower crane things…

Donald Deskey was all bundled up because it’s cold outside, and the heat wasn’t working on the first floor this morning. And that means, it’s cold inside too.

The view from my office window…

Here’s this remnant doo-hickey in our building’s lobby that we pass every day…

And last night must have been the final night of the green tiara atop the Great American Tower for this holiday season…

Because on our Oscar walk this evening, the tiara was glowing white again.
Booooring. 🙂

Constructing Cincinnati.

Over the last few days, they’ve been very quickly erecting a new tower crane across the street from us for the construction of the new parking garage on Sycamore Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets…

And when I was walking home from work this evening, it looks like they have it completely finished and ready to start constructing stuff…

Geez, that thing is tall. Like waaay up there. I think it’s even taller than the one they put up to build Seven at Broadway. I would NOT like to have to be the guy that has to climb up and down that monster each and every day. But then, I really don’t like heights. 🙂
