Cincinnati Landmarks

by Steven J. Rolfes

Landmarks are more than statues and great buildings--they tell the world what is important to a community. Behind every landmark is a story, and Cincinnati has many stories. A charming gazebo is actually the site of a grisly murder committed by a gangster. Symphonies and operas performed in an elegant hall are actually serenading the forgotten dead of a century before. What is now an office building once held the relics of an ancient saint, attracting thousands of pilgrims every year. These and many other stories make up the tapestry of Cincinnati Landmarks.

Very interesting photographic (and therefore a very quick read) history that included a lot of information about the Queen City of which I was not previously aware. There were some descriptions where it seemed as though the author presumed the reader to understand or know more about what was described - some of this may have resulted from movement of items within the book (better descriptions could be found later in the text).
