Gwynne Building, Historic Beaux-Arts building in Cincinnati, United States

Description

The Gwynne Building is a commercial structure featuring classical design elements, positioned at the corner of 6th and Main Streets and housing several business spaces. The symmetrical structure displays elegant stone embellishments and detailed cornices across its entire exterior.

History

The structure was completed in 1914 from a design by architect Ernest Flagg and initially served as an office location for a major manufacturing company. The company relocated during the 1950s and the building's purpose has shifted multiple times since then.

Culture

The building's name reflects its original ownership, and the carefully crafted exterior showcases the quality that early 20th-century business owners valued in their workplaces. Visitors notice how the structure commands respect in its downtown setting through its refined details.

Practical

The building sits in a central downtown area where it is easy to reach on foot and provides good views of the surrounding streets. The shops and offices inside are accessible during regular business hours.

Did you know?

The lot where the building stands was the location where a well-known business enterprise began operations in the 1830s, long before the current structure was built there. This business connection to the city's history goes unnoticed by many visitors.
