Who designed Cincinnatis Music Hall?
Music Hall, 1241 Elm Street, remains one of Cincinnati’s best known landmarks. Designed by architect Samuel Hannaford in the style variously labeled Victorian Gothic or Romanesque, the 3 1/2 story cherry red pressed brick building has an acoustically excellent concert hall. Carvings of flowers, birds, and symbols of crafts, arts, and sciences on its gray sandstone trim indicate the many uses for which Music Hall was originally intended when it opened on April 8, 1878.
