Commonly known as the Channel 9 castle, you won't find armored knights protecting our local news…read morestation. Elsinore Castle was erected in 1883 by the Cincinnati Waterworks to house a valve for water to be transported to Eden Park. The company was interested in enhancing the view of the park, and this location was the former main entrance. The castle was built be renown architect Samuel Hanneford, modeled after Kronberg Castle, which was featured in a local play of Hamlet. The real Kronberg Castle can be found in Denmark. When the Cincinnati Art Museum opened in 1886, stairs were placed at the base of Elsinore Castle. The steps were too steep to ever become popular and the Elsinore Castle soon lost its appeal as an entrance to Eden Park. A mere 100 years later, it was integrated into the landscaping of Channel 9 and is seen more as a landmark of the news station than of the park. Set alongside Gilbert Avenue, the public can still stop and photograph the castle, however it was sadly never used for anything magical, like kings and armored battle. Viewing Time: 15 minutes

This 43-foot-tall, bronze-cast fountain was designed to look like the beautiful fountains found across Europe, made up of a nine-foot-tall woman, who is referred to as "The Lady" by locals, with human figures both big and small below and around her. Around the fountain were several different restaurants that were either on the square or bordered the square. I probably wouldn't have known what this place was if it weren't for the opening credits from "WKRP in Cincinnati," but my partner, his family, and I were glad to stop by.

It has seem to be such a secretive place for so long it is nice that it is opening up more for outside events. There are a variety of rooms for meetings and receptions. There is even a chapel. There are also 2 auditoriums, which will be used for the world choir games. It has such a historical old world feel inside the place, older than the building is. For the world choir games, besides some of the newer theatre's it is great that we do have some older (although still young by most of the world standards) auditoriums to show off. If you get a chance to visit the masonic temple, try to see if you can get a tour, it is well worth the visit and an option for a special event or a work meeting, it you want something that is different and full of history.

Archived are over 350,000 Cincinnati history artifacts and over 3.2 million items total. While not open to the public, historians and researchers can make an appointment to visit the facility. The state of the art building is climate controlled and receives new materials on a regular basis. Citizens are encouraged to donate any unwanted historical items to the Geier Center. They even have a saying: "If you're going picking, pick for us!" Artifacts include items from: the settlement of Cincinnati, the Civil War, machine tool industry, 1800s Presidential campaigns, 1800s everyday household items, early medicine, brewing, railroads, early broadcasting items, historic clothing and decorative fine arts. Other collections include artifacts about science and natural history. The Geier Center staff also share interesting historical tales, such as: - Local barbers often doubled as the dentist. He not only cut hair, but pulled teeth and did minor surgeries on people. He had a lot of bloody rags after the procedures and would wrap them around poles outside his establishment. Thus originated the red and white barbershop signage. If you would like to see new exhibits at Cincinnati Museum Center featuring fresh artifacts from the Geier Center, write letters to those in charge. Suggestions from the public are always welcome. - Doug McDonald, President & CEO - Sandy Shipley, Vice President of Exhibits Cincinnati Museum Center 1301 Western Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45203
