Duke Energy Building

The Duke Energy Building is an 18-story office tower with a neoclassical facade located in downtown Cincinnati. The structure features distinctive architectural details and continues to function as an active office space in the business district.

The building was designed in 1929 by architects Frederick W. Garber and John Russell Pope as the headquarters for Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company. The construction marks an important moment in the development of Cincinnati's business district during the early modern era.

The building stands where Cincinnati's early history took place and served as a gathering point for business leaders across generations. Its central location has made it a recognized landmark that people pass by during their daily routines through downtown.

The building is centrally located and easy to reach when moving through the business district. The site is well-connected by public transportation and sits near other major business buildings in the area.

From 1946 to 2011, a model train display in the building's lobby showed holiday scenes that visitors watched closely each year. This seasonal tradition became a beloved visit for many generations during the festive period.
