New City Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, c1900. Creator: Unknown
New City Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, c1900. The City Hall, the best remaining example of Richardson Romanesque in Cincinnati, was designed by Samuel Hannaford and built in the in the 1880s. As the building becomes taller, its windows get smaller, an optical trick known as forced perspective which makes the structure appear larger than it actually is.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of New City Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, around 1900. The architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the Richardson Romanesque style and was designed by the talented Samuel Hannaford in the late 19th century. As you gaze at this image, you'll notice an intriguing optical illusion known as forced perspective. The building's windows diminish in size as it reaches higher into the sky, creating an illusion of greater magnitude. This clever technique adds to the awe-inspiring presence of New City Hall. The clock tower proudly stands tall amidst its surroundings, serving as a symbol of timekeeping for all who pass by. Its intricate details showcase Victorian craftsmanship at its finest. This photograph is part of Scenic Marvels of the New World edited by Professor George R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. around 1900. It offers us a glimpse into America's rich architectural heritage during that era. New City Hall remains one of Cincinnati's most remarkable landmarks today—a true gem from another time that continues to inspire admiration for its scale and beauty. As we explore this monochrome snapshot taken over a century ago, we are reminded of our country's history and how architecture can leave an indelible mark on our landscape.
