Old World Cincinnati

I always thought it had a double 't' at the end. Porkopolis, the Queen city, let's take a closer look at the old buildings of Cincinnati. I think there's much more to this place than pork and beer...what lies beneath?

Cincinnati had America’s first telescope, radio signal and atomic clock. I visited for the first time this summer and the city is incredible. You can feel something special about it

The destruction of that library literally hurt my heart. Their destruction of our world angers me to no end and I wish more people felt this way also!

I've lived in Cincinnati all my life. Your compilation of these old pictures is beyond fantastic, and it illustrates just how much Cincinnati has let go of. Cincinnati once was known as the Paris of the new world, but your video proves just how small minded Cincinnati has been, what a shame. Some of the buildings you showed I remember as derelict; they have been torn down, shameful. Having worked in construction I can tell you that the cost of replicating the craftmanship of that age would be prohibitive. Rise of inflation and decline of personal pride of craftsmanship; but that's not only a Cincinnati problem. The difference in building materials for structural walls that you point out are the rougher cut stone for foundations and brick for upper levels. There is even varying quality of stone used in foundations, stone for homes is usually much rougher than for the public and municipal buildings. I have a love hate relationship with Cincinnati. Cincinnati coulda been a great city like Chicago or Boston, but has squandered its potential glory, and continues to do so.

Those "bricks" that you refer to as having a "heat damaged look", are limestone blocks and are an entirely different material than regular red bricks indeed.

The part of town on top of that hill is Mt Adams, today it’s a very exclusive part of town. Been to Cincinnati several times, the Zoo is incredible, it’s a lot older than they say it is. Love your content, thanks for sharing.

I just bought a house in Cincinnati that was built in 1880 the architecture in Cincinnati is amazing and there are still a lot of old buildings and houses.

I don't think the average person ever questions any of this, especially now that everyone's always distracted by a screen of some sort with someone on it spewing all kinds of bs at them...that they faithfully follow and invest themselves fully in. shm I wish I could find someone near me that was as interested in this as I am but alas I'm surrounded by people who look at me or speak to me like I have three heads for even noticing these incredible buildings, little alone wanting to talk about them or discuss the ludicrous narratives we've been given regarding them. lol I'm so grateful for people like you and channels such as yours. I appreciate the work you put into your research and the videos you produce as well as the audience you attract. I'd have zero faith in humanity if it weren't for the people I find on channels such as this and others that dare challenge the status quo about anything these days. lmao Thank you, each and everyone of you! 💯👍

I live here in Cincinnati and you can still see some remnants of old architecture. I, personally, believe that modern architecture is plain, dull and ugly purposely.

My theory... The population declined after 1960 because the birth control pill arrived in 1960

As a Cincinnati native I can tell you it has all the hallmarks of an old world tartianian city that was mud flooded.

[@basicbreakfast]

Fantastic images! Thx so much for your work. Old Cincinnati architecture really is just as magnificent as the bigger cities. What a treat!

[@jerrelboyd2441]

Cincinnati is built on seven hills, five of which had an incline to move people and vehicles up and down. They were all removed of course.

In all the videos regarding the history of cities, the creators never mention the masonic lodges in every locale, even the smaller towns, like Milford, have a masonic lodge in them. The one in downtown Cincinnati is on 5th and Sycamore, I believe. Great video!! Thanks

[@MrAMERICAFOREVER]

I have a collection of newspaper stories and photos from the great flood.
