{"product_id":"cincinnati-architectural-and-historical-icons-marques-vickers-9798316403240","title":"Cincinnati Architectural And Historical Icons: Triumph of Design and Innovation","description":"The development of the railroads during the 1840s enabled the importation of materials such as marble and granite for the construction of more elaborate commercial and residential structures. The steamboat building industry coupled with river commerce brought prosperity to Cincinnati establishing it by 1850 as the fastest growing city in the United States. The population exceeded over 100,000 crammed into an area of approximately seven square miles \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Italianate design style took root during 1865 within the Over-the-Rhine district. As Cincinnati commercially peaked by the mid twentieth century, some of the most innovative architectural designs emerged, notably Art Deco gems such as the Union Train Terminal, Carew Tower and the upgraded John Shillito Center. Entering the new Millennium, Cincinnati selected famed architect Zaha Hadid for her first American commission with the design of the Contemporary Art Center. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis illustrated edition profiles over 110 historic and iconic structures buildings the 19th century until the present age. The majority of the older structures have undergone major renovations and identity transformations. The results have created a reinvigorated city still setting a standard for integrating the historic with the contemporary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArchitects and firms credited include James W.
