- Located west of Downtown Cincinnati is a manufacturing facility that once was a giant producer of metal valves and brass work. Now, it has been left for the elements to take over and crumble away. This is Lunkheimer Valve Company, a historic building that has been apart of Cincinnati's known history as a manufacturing town. Located in South Fairmount this small town thrived off of the buildings that raised this town.

I just drove by it today, (never been to Cincinnati before), and was taken aback at how massive and a little scary looking it was! FANTASTIC drone footage!! Love the music, u really captured the haunting vibe of the place.
Matthew, I enjoyed all you're videos.. I noticed from the drone footage, how much has changed along "Queen City Ave" To what is there now as opposed to what I remember what was there.
All the homes and businesses that are gone. I left Cincy in 1991. If you're still doing abandoned site subjects. Consider doing on the old "Allen House Orphanage" in the "Dunham Recreation Complex" That would make for a good video.. You see, I once resided in the orphanage and the painful memories thereof. Cheers, Mate.
They made great valves. Ive seen some in service in the Propane Industry 40+ years old and work great still. Dont leak at all.
Just went there today, hella cool and great view on roof
Do they give tours?
Did you get into the building? I have several relatives that worked there. I would love to take my uncle through it.
How the hell you get in? Last I checked they were fixing it up
Nicely researched. Keep the videos coming!
Hey thanks man! Check out my other videos as well! I think you will enjoy the other videos as well.
@tomrees4812 Frederick Lunkenheimer was my great great grandfather. In the family bible his daughter, Ella (my great grandmother) gifted him is a Lunkenheimer family tree put together in 1946. Unfortunately there’s nothing shown of Frederick Lunkenheimer’s family in Germany; only his descendants. Sadly I have no previous ancestral knowledge.
I collect steam whistles. I have several whistles made by Lunkenheimer and one CBW. They are first class quality and sound beautiful. They were made from 1 inch bell ( cylinder ) diameter up to 12 inch. My largest is a 10 inch. So sad today to see our great valve makers gone, Lunkenheimer, Powell, Crane, Fairbanks and many more. Most of our valves ( and too much other stuff ) is now imported. Check out my postings and see many Lunkenheimer whistles blowing at our "whistle toot" events. Hear the largest 12 inch diameter Lunkenheimer chime ( chord ) whistle, "All 12 inch chimes". The Lunkenheimer whistles had dome tops.
Let’s go thanks for doing my request
It was so worth the trip! Thanks for the request dude, I enjoyed looking into this building’s history!
you deserve more views!
Thanks man, I appreciate the compliment!
It's LUNKENHEIMER, not Lunkheimer. Thanks!
Thank you for the correction. Always appreciate Grammar people like you around.
