Cincy Sunset's

I've always thought the Conservatory was beautiful at dusk through the tree's now I have the photo to prove it! I hope you enjoy exploring all the parks in Cincinnati as we do . Buy a park district pass it's a great deal and is worth the small fee.

Indian Summer

We got some wonderful photo's today in our queen city treasure Eden park . These pictures shot in Memorial Grove where the tree's are dedicated to the presidents of the United States of America. I couldn't help but catch the tower again too , it's as you can see a favorite subject .

We Salute Our Veterans

The copper top was removed in World War II ... this pic taken just before completion of the tower October 9th ,1893.(see more below)

The Water tower in Eden Park designed by the renowned Hannaford & Sons was made in 1894 to look like a castle keep...gargoyles,spiral staircase,and hand operated elevator to boot. For a mere nickel during Cincinnati's "Golden Age " patrons could ride the elevator to the top of the turret to an observation platform 997 feet above sea level .It functioned as a pressure tank to pump water to Walnut Hills . It was also used as a secret Police sub-station(more on this later) and by 1912 it was no longer in use.The copper sheathed steeple was scraped during WWII as a donation to the war efforts. The beautiful structure still commands the view at Eden Park and perhaps with some luck one day it will be open to the public again (hint,hint)
