The Alms Hotel located on the northwest corner of Victory Parkway and E. McMillan St. was opened in 1891. This is the structure you see in the first eight cards. The larger more modern buildings seen in the remainder of these cards were built in 1925. Frederick Alms along with William Doepke started the Alms & Doepke department store which can be seen on the canal page. For many years WKRC radio broadcast from studios located in this building, the towers can be seen on top of the newer structure.
