Bartlett Building, Neoclassical skyscraper in downtown Cincinnati, United States.
The Bartlett Building is a neoclassical skyscraper in downtown Cincinnati that rises 19 floors from the intersection of Fourth and Walnut Streets. Its facade displays symmetrical forms and grand columns that exemplify the architectural style of that era.
The building was designed in 1901 by D.H. Burnham & Company and held the title of Ohio's tallest building for several years after completion. This achievement reflected Cincinnati's growth as a modern financial center at the start of the 20th century.
The building preserves its original architectural character while serving as a modern hotel, blending historic design elements with contemporary use. Visitors can notice how the grand interior spaces reflect the classical proportions and details that defined the structure from its earliest days.
The building now operates as a hotel with multiple elevators serving all floors and various guest accommodations. Visitors can explore the interior by staircase or elevator, and the central location on a major street intersection makes it easy to reach on foot.
The hotel restaurant is named D. Burnham's after the original architect, creating a direct link between today's dining experience and the building's design heritage. This naming choice allows visitors to connect with the structure's past while enjoying a meal.
