The building's name stems from its original function as a streetcar and bus terminus for Northern Kentucky's transit system. It once housed the Cincinnati Stock Exchange.
Current OwnerAmerican Financial Group
Unique FeaturesA 225' long two-level arcade connects the Fourth Street entry to the river view at the rear and is reminiscent of New York's Pennsylvania Station. Its vaulted ceiling is painted with teal accents and trimmed in gold.
QuotesAt its opening, the Cincinnati Enquirer called the building a "splendid structure in which utility and beauty are combined. The power of public-spirited wealth and the dignity of labor have united to meet a public need, to render a public service, to bestow a civic adornment and thus to furnish a happy augury of a new era in Cincinnati's progress."
