Facts
When completed this was the 5th-tallest building in the world, only behind buildings in New York.
Originally colored brown; was painted white around the 1940's.
Tallest building in Cincinnati from 1913 to 1931; surpassed by the Carew Tower.
The building appears on the skyline mural over the staircase at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, one block north.
Connected by two skyways at the 1st and 5th floors over Ogden Place to the PNC Building located just to the south.
It was originally built as the headquarters of the Union Central Life Insurance Company, which was founded in Cincinnati in 1867.
The firm left the tower in 1964, relocating to a new corporate complex in the northern suburb of Forest Park.
The Mitchell Building, one of Cincinnati's earliest high-rise buildings, and H.H. Richardson's Chamber of Commerce Building formerly stood on this site.
