Cincinnati City Hall, 801 Plum St Cincinnati, Hamilton County, OH
Cincinnati`s City Hall represents the prevailing architectural tastes at the time of its construction and the influence of H. H. Richardson on its designer, Samuel Hannaford. Richardson`s winning design for the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce building was executed in the 1880`s; however, the building`s demolition in 1911 left City Hall the best remaining example of Richardson Romanesque in Cincinnati. Samuel Hannaford practiced from 1858 until 1897 and made a significant contribution to the architectural heritage of the Cincinnati area.
