Title	Cincinnati City Hall tower
Subject	Architecture--Ohio Government buildings Ohio Government Cincinnati -- Buildings, structures, etc. Hannaford, Samuel, 1835-1911
Time Period	1930s 1940s
Place	Cincinnati (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description	Caption reads "City Hall Tower and Clock. Taken from Eighth and Plum" Located 801 Plum St., City Hall occupies the entire block from 8th to 9th Sts, and from Plum St to Central Ave. A smaller building housed city council on the same site from 1852. Hannaford's Romanesque revival was dedicated May 13, 1893. Large stained glass windows by the New York firm Pottier Stymus & Co. depict the benevolent dictator Cincinnatus, the trials of early settlers, and Cincinnati as the Queen City of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Catawba Wine". Samuel Hannaford and Sons remains the most prolific and widely-studied Cincinnati architectural firm; a company register from the 1930s lists 1000 buildings completed, and Hannaford family members were active from 1857 to the post-WWII period.
