Description

Art Deco, daring and almost defiant in its optimism, reflected the spirit of a restless time. Bursting forth in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, an age when there gave the impression to be no limits, this new art form was once both elegant and up to date. Cincinnati is fortunate to have three stunning examples of this unique style: the subtle Hilton Netherland Plaza hotel, the overpowering Cincinnati Times-Star Building, and the Union Terminal. Beyond these giants, the Greater Cincinnati region is studded with many other breathtaking examples of Art Deco, from a water tower decorated with Christmas lights to stunning neighborhood theaters and apartment buildings to mythological creatures guarding a Masonic temple in northern Kentucky. There is not any doubt that Art Deco is alive and well in Cincinnati, so clutch a hip flask of tub gin, placed on some Glenn Miller, and explore the elegance and history of Cincinnati Art Deco.
