Cincinnati Skyscrapers

 


   I originally started out wanting to show the top 50 skyscrapers in Cincinnati, but that has been exceeded after I actually started digging into the subject. This list will expand as more buildings are added. It is not always easy to get a reasonably good image of some of these buildings and where you will see multiple buildings the one in the center will be the one that is being refered to. There will probably be some controversy over the two tallest buildings. While the Great American Tower is physically the highest structure with its massive crown on top, it contains only 41 usable floors, while the "smaller" Carew Tower contains 49 floors. The same argument could be made on the #3 choice. You decide.  Meters and feet, when available, will be rounded off. This data  differs from a couple of other lists and this worries me. If you find any errors please let me know. I know there are buildings out there that I have missed. The floor count may be off because some count all the floors and some count above ground floors only.
