Bird's-Eye Views

 

   The non-postcard image below is a rarely seen early drawing of Cincinnati.

DOWNTOWN  VIEWS

This page may take awhile to load because of the size of some of these images.

  The first panoramic view is a four part card that I had to scan in two parts. This view was taken in 1908 from the roof of the Julian & Kokenge Co. (to see this building go to the Clothing-Hats-Shoes page of the Business section). To orient you: this building was on East Fourth Street across from Lytle Park, (the park is behind and below the flag pole).
