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?

[@cbtventures6994]

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.

[@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. The city is famous for manufacturing high quality machine tools, which have been shipped all over the world and still in use today. The ''Over The Rhine'' district was the part of town where German people settled. It got it's nickname for the land on the other side of the Miami and Erie canal which ran right through the city so the locals naturally called the canal the Rhine. You are correct about the high number of breweries, which the beer drinking Germans had a lot to do with. Mt Adams is one of the hills, and has incredible views of the Ohio river and the downtown, as well as across the river into Kentucky. This is where Eden Park is located with it's amazing architecture. The Rookwood Pottery company is up there as well, which has produced high quality pottery and ceramic tiles since the 1800s. It's a beautiful city today, but must have been incredible back when the inclines were all running and the canal boats and steam boats were everyday sights. Hopefully someday, the truth will be known about our history and ancestors. 🤍

As a boy the city was filthy with coal suet. And where the suspension bridge is there were then active gallows’s. He also said that when he was 16 he swam across the Ohio from Newport over to Cincinnati. He and his father were musicians and were in the union. He played trumpet and his father played Saxophone sometimes in the e Same gig. He played at the Beverly Hills Supper Club and played “Dixieland” Style. His mother , whom he did not live with and his Uncle raised him. His mom and Dad were both rounders. He went to the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and studied under Vogulmouth.

I agree! They are not ours. History is written by the victors and with time, 1/2 truths and coordinated efforts “the truth” can be can be whatever the powers that be want it to be. Cincinnati is a hotbed of “founded” buildings or buildings with very suspicious histories. People really should question things more but they don’t. It’s easier to dismiss the people that do question as crazy. Speaking of crazy-the insane asylums across the US alone are enough to make anyone with any cognitive reasoning skills at all realize that we’ve been lied to about our history. Look at new construction- it’s basically prefab! We are not at all the smartest most advanced civilization. The average IQ is 95 and dropping for Pete’s Sake!

All of the details you show on these old buildings can still be done today. No one is willing to pay for them in money or time. The immigrants coming from Europe brought these skills with them...stone carving, masonry, wood working and the desire to replicate the architecture of the cities and countries they came from....it is what they knew. It's not the Architects, Contractors , or Craftsmen that don't exist today, it is the will of the owners, developers, and tax payers that refuse to foot the bill for this level of craftsmanship.

I agree with you regarding our having collective amnesia but I believe that amnesia started during the South African War (sometimes referred to as the Boer War, Second Boer War or Anglo-Boer War) and that it continued right on through WWI and WWII. They had multiple generations that needed to be "reset" and short of a world-wide natural disaster nothing works better as a distraction then a war or recovering from one. Everyone is busy fighting for their survival in some way, therefore less likely to challenge anything going on around them.

[@mlmiller6]

Interesting...I was thinking the "Civil War" was the beginning of the reset here in America. It is so strange to me that virtually nothing happened from the founding of this country in 1776 to around the "Civil War" period. Yes, there was the war of 1812 and a few others but where are the stories about THE PEOPLE who were LIVING HERE and WORKING and BUILDING IT OUT and UP? Does ANYONE have access to ANY historical records or written diaries kept by family members or published books authored by ANYONE from this period who lived in this country and recorded the day to day life of the early American settlers and the happenings of their lives here other than Laura Ingells and her "Little House on the Prairie" writings? Does ANYONE have a family tree going back further than the mid 1800s who are FROM THIS COUNTRY?

[@LJ-jj5vn]

@@mlmiller6 I'm in Canada but yes, I have the same questions myself! I laughed out loud at your Little House On The Prairie reference as I watched that while growing up in Saskatchewan (which we refer to up here as being part of The Prairie provinces ironically). lol I recall there being an old western tv series called Bonanza, as well as many old John Wayne movies that alluded to the States during part of this time period as being the "Wild West" yet we see little evidence of that existing on the scale that they implied it did. In Canada the narrative has always been that the only people living here during the early 1800's were the Natives/Aboriginals, then the English and the French arrived and so on. I don't think I've ever met a non-aboriginal "Canadian" who's family has been in Canada longer than four generations. This is what they've been told by their parents or grandparents anyway. Now I'm not suggesting here that they've all been purposely lied to about it by their family members. This is just a hypothesis that I have regarding this narrative. When you see old pictures or videos of the people who were supposedly just arriving to North America you can't help but notice how dazed and confused they all appear to be so (this of course is just my opinion based on my observations of these things and by no means a medical fact pertaining to their state of mind) what if all of these people just thought they'd arrived from overseas somewhere but in fact had really been here the entire time? I know this sounds crazy but what if during one of these previous "resets" people were given something (or something was done to them) that made them either forget about their past or highly suggestable to believing something "new" to be true regarding it? This potential "experiment", as well as the reason for the reset, could potentially explain the huge "need" for so many asylums and hospitals in the early 1900's as well as why there were so many orphans. This would also explain why there is so little personal information regarding this time period in North America. I'm sorry, I get carried away with this subject, as so much of what we've been told just doesn't add up. haha I'm a big fan of old rural cemeteries and one thing I've noticed up here is how few headstones/grave markers there are that date back prior to 1880. What did people do with their dead back then? And yes, why are there so few personal accounts/diaries of people's lives during this era?!

[@riverbilly64]

Good Lord, I have no idea what the two commenters were going on about. My first ancestors came to America in the 1600s. A lot was going on between 1776 and the Civil War. It’s written about in regular books, digital collections of libraries, digitized journals, so on and so forth. Really, all you gotta do is google to find out more. I won’t get into the notion that there are no cemeteries with graves older than the 1880s - depends on where you live. Think about what many early tombstones were made of. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Samuel Hannaford apparently “designed” a lot of the old buildings and high schools and courthouses, ridiculous… one man from England has all these different designs and then has enough people to built 30 5-8 story buildings including an oddfellows temple that at the time HIS NAME WAS NOT EVEN ON PAPER OR ANYTHING.

Some items not covered: There are “temples of love” in multiple parks around Cincinnati, especially the parks that sit on hills (like Mt Storm). Several have caught fire- one in Burnet Woods by University of Cincinnati. Several other places describe them as temples to Ishtar or Aphrodites. P&G world HQ, they built hanging gardens similar to those described in Babylon, that take up 2 blocks downtown. There are lots of tunnels, big tunnels too. The subway stalled being built because too many people were dying trying to build it. They gave other reasons to cover tho. early 1800s, 3 big earthquakes hit Cincinnati, caused the river to flow backwards for a couple days... There is a lot more too- too much to put here- worth digging on tho

I have some family history knowledge of Cincinnati. My great great grandfather owned a home building company in Cincinnati. He was originally from Europe. He built some of the extravagant homes in the Silverton area and even had a street named after him. He was ultimately forced out of the city to California unexpectedly and nobody knew why. He left behind his family and the city ultimately renamed the street for some reason. Some of the homes he built still exist today. My mom has an old article about him and his building company. I know he was extremely wealthy and influential in the city in the mid to late 1800s. I wish I knew more but these are a few of the things I remember my grandfather telling us before he passed away.

Cincinnati is the city of 7 Hills! Of course you'll find slab stone foundations securing buildings with brick laid on top.

There were so many breweries due to a heavy German influx....there's no such thing as too much BIER! The subterranean tunnels were used to "lager" the beer in the summer. There are tours. The area around the Miami canal was named "Over-the-Rhine" because many German immigrants lived there. Cincinnati has a vast history! Come and see and touch the bricks and rock walls you doubt!!

I grew up in Norwood and hung out downtown and in Correyville/Clifton... Over the Rhine wasn't called Over the Rhine because of the Ohio River. There was a Canal that ran from Milford, Hamilton and other cities to OTR. The canal is now called "Central Park way".. A lot of these buildings you're showing are still there.. some of the old hotesl, Odd Gellows is gone... General Hospital is now UC Hospital... If you look at the Civil War so called reconstruction in the south, around the same time or just after the Civil War just about every US city had a "great fire" in the late 1860s all the way to the late 1870s.. There's mass old buried forgotten buildings underground. You can still get into via tunnels.. somebody took the time to research this stuff back before I was born and dug out these buried buildings.. I know parts of Cincinnati nobody knows about.. I know places in Norwood, the zoning department knows nothing about.. these places are completely forgotten and structurally sound.... Norwood blocked off the more well-known places like the old subway tunnels, but I know where more is, and they're still there to this day.. stayed in a place hidden to the public and city council for 2 weeks about 5 years ago.. only 1 other person knows where these 2 other places in Norwood are, and he was a really close friend of mine who died a few years ago.. I would say the samething about some spots in Cincinnati but averytime I visit those spots I find condoms, needles, footprints etc so they're not secret anymore.... I apologize for the novel... there's most likely 100s of more spots around Cincinnati I don't know about.. I'm not gonna mention any of these places out in the open.. so of ypu wanna get ahold of me.. we'll have to work something out and I'm keeping my spots to myself.. but I'll show you anything else.. old abandoned pump houses, old buried train depots, old buried foundations.. old buried building that I ha e no clue what they used to be.. there's even an old buried 2 story building buried under some railroad tracks.. some of the old stone art on these buildings were made of plaster..I was gonna take one that ead laying on the floor of a buried building and when I went to pick it up, it crumbled in my hands.. I did take a Polaroid of it back in the 90s and my grandma said it looked like something from the World's Fair cause her mother stole some stuff from the World's Fair when they were tearing it down.. she also said that a lot of the buildings that were in the World's Fair were there years before the world's fair and then tore those down with the faked buildings.. the World's Fair was definitely a cover up...

Definitely a Mud Flood city, America was filled with Old World city's in 1620 when the Pilgrim's arrived, and was not a "Pristine Wilderness" as we are taught.

[@mlmiller6]

We will never know what the Hell was going on or what the truth is about anything. But there most definitely were Olde World built out cities all over these lands, and the "Native Americans" who were here then most definitely were not what we are told and shown. They were completely civilized.

[@frozenn4u]

@@ASCUMBAGWh0re The proof is in the architecture, the buildings were built for giants, why else would they build massive buildings with very large doors. The evidence is the destruction of a lot of these Old World buildings and city's, That's why we had all the "Great Fires" of all the major city's. They were getting rid of the evidence. In the Old World giants and normal sized people existed together, but something happened to their society, and they were destroyed by the Mud Flood.

@@mlmiller6 The "Native Americans" the ones that built these city's, were actually the "Lost Tribes of Israel" , they arrived around 700 BC when they were fleeing the Assyrian invasion.

@@ASCUMBAGWh0re There is "proof" and "evidence" of it everywhere. Those of us who choose to seek it, are eventually able to find it. But one must first be willing to let go of the ridiculous official story/fairy tale programming we all received during our 12-13 yrs (or more) at the indoctrination camps we were sent to, as well as be willing to actually SEE the proof and evidence when it is presented or found. It's not for everyone, but it is profoundly important for some of us to try making sense out of the utterly nonsensical historical narrative we have been given about the "founding" of this country and the "Natives" who inhabited these lands before our arrival. Most of us have determined, based upon much evidence and scant proof (knowing that most anything holding actual proof was burned down, blown up, bombed out, flooded with mud, or somehow "lost" with "whereabouts unknown" etc. in the 1800s, all of which was intentional destruction of the proof), that it is highly probable that almost nothing we were taught or which is parroted by the mainstream is truth. It's a hard pill to swallow when that realization hits because it can destroy one's entire sense of who they thought they were. So, like I said, it's not for everyone.

It is 1900, only one out of every ten women gave birth in a hospital, yet Cincinnati had a fully operational subway system.

[@mjt708]

They never had an operational subway system? They started digging it out mid 1900s and because of flooding and the destruction of neighborhoods for the interstate they stopped construction.

[@piedmontatl]

You are misleading people. Because there is a state line, Cincinnati is cut in half with a sizeable population across the Ohio River in Kentucky. In addition, millions live in the metro area and they enjoy doing things within the city limits. The actual population of metro Cincinnati is closing in on 3 million people.

That was a beautiful city that was absolutely destroyed! There was a massive, extremely dense neighborhood over on the west side of town by the main railway station and in the reset the government tore it all down for an industrial park, a highway, and social housing. And the abandoned half-built subway? The city government ran out of money to complete thanks to World War 1 and the inflation it caused. They could have gone to the voters and explained the situation and got more money to complete it but by that time everyone was embracing the automobile. That started the reset!

i am at a loss. what is this video about. is it about space aliens erasing our memories before ww1 and ww2? the fire didn't happen? that the population of cincy grew rapidly then dropped off? that the buildings weren't really built? I don't get it. there is something wrong with towers on high schools? What is your point? If you don't know, there is a Cincinnati Historical Society located in the Union Terminal/Museum Center. You can get all kinds of information about the buildings, fires, canals, breweries and churches. I would suggest to you that the high schools were built to look like an important places, because they were. Most people didn't even graduate from high school. Many were laborers and craftsmen. Those people were the people who built the pirouettes, filagree, statues and infrasturcture of the city. There wasn't an Osha, or government agency that oversaw specific inspections that a builder must pass. So, maybe as the decorative buildings aged they began to fall apart. Who knows? A library knows and you have one in every city and town in the USA. So, maybe consider going to one of these fancy high schools. Learn about the history, write a paper about what you learned, not what you "don't buy". Then present a video that makes a few points about old buildings and how they got here. And learn about "change". Nothing ever stays the same. Immigrants that came from Germany built like Germans. Italians built like Italians, Irish built like Irish. Those stones and bricks you "don"t buy" are quarried locally and made from local clay. The wood came from local trees. Speaking of local trees, many of the buildings were stone, brick and tile on the outside and wood on the inside. These buildings were lighted by gas lamps. So when a fire started there was a very good chance that the wood interiors burnt and left the stone and brick structure standing. one exploding gas lamp in the hall of a larger building could ignite a big fire. Maybe ask the question, why did old north american citys built like European cities? Name names. Who designed specific buildings, what were it's requirments, and what happened to it in hsitory. The answers can be found in a historical library. Look up who was Roebling, Homestead, Hannaford, and other architects and builders of the 19th century. All your questions can be answered. good luck.

[@oldworldex]

I love this comment. It helps me out immensely in my research. The psychology of accepting the given historical narrative is on full display, yet we read phrases like 'I am at a loss' and 'Who knows' while simultaneously attempting to explain that all is known and can easily be referenced. The cognitive dissonance of accepting what we're told about the past because we have anchored our world view to it juxtaposed with wilfully admitting that there are unknowns which may lead to more unknowns. Speaks volumes!

@@ronjohnson4566 settle down Ron, clearly many people appreciate these types of videos and the curiosity of a lost time period and architecture. it's certainly a free country and perfectly okay to question the official narrative and timelines we are presented with. you don't find it curious that a Post Office today is a complete isore brutalist construction shack compared to a magnificent massive intricately beautiful palace that would rival any old world construction found around the world? often times these buildings were 'founded' during the Great Depression, which certainly didn't seem to hinder construction on a massive scale, outperforming anything we attempt to build today. I bet you believe everything you read in a history book as unquestionable fact don't you? the idea is that there was a coverup and destruction of old world technology within the past couple hundred years, and the evidence is all around the world and particularly in America the timeline doesn't always make much sense. maybe 2 world wars killed off anyone that had any recollection of a time before the 1850s. if you don't find this topic fascinating, or at least marvel at the beauty that was once commonplace in our very own cities over 100 years ago, go watch the History Channel.

@@harutakagura4886 I wasn't commenting the buildings beauty. I was commenting on the strange way the publisher of this video told his story. And, I stand by what I said. Oh and building technology, materials, techniques, workforce, and usage has changed. In addition, everything has changed since 1900. So restoration has become very expensive if you can even find someone who can do restoration alla 1900. And even more additionally, toilets , electric, solar building technology, parking, convenience, has affected every part of our lives. Things are different and will continue to be different.
