Crosley Building, Art Deco telecommunications building in Camp Washington, Cincinnati, United States.
Description
The Crosley Building is a ten-story Art Deco structure in Camp Washington with manufacturing spaces on lower floors and broadcasting facilities in upper levels. The building spans approximately 330,000 square feet and includes rail access points for goods movement.
History
Built in 1929, the structure was designed by Samuel Hannaford and Sons as headquarters for the Crosley Radio Corporation, a leading radio manufacturing company. It stands as a symbol of the era when broadcasting and electronics production shaped the city's industrial growth.
Culture
The building once housed the WLW radio station, which shaped how people in the region listened to broadcasts from its rooftop antenna. This connection to radio remains visible in how locals remember and speak about the structure.
Practical
The building is located in the Camp Washington neighborhood and is easily visible from the street, making it simple to find and locate in the area. Access to different sections may vary depending on current use, so checking ahead about accessibility is recommended.
Did you know?
The building's exterior was intentionally designed to mirror the shape of a Crosley radio set, merging architecture with the product itself. This playful design choice represents an early example of corporate structures becoming advertising statements.
