Cincinnati<\/a> has embraced several nicknames over the years. There was the “City of Seven Hills,” an allusion to Rome when the city first began having aspirations of becoming the first great metropolis of the American Heartland in the early 1800s. Then it was “Porkopolis” when Cincinnati was dressing more hogs than anyplace on earth. By the middle of the 19th century it was the “Queen City” of the Ohio River because it enchanted so many visitors.<\/p>\n

The streets of Cincinnati have always attracted America\u2019s best architects and their work is still on display, harmoniously inspiring new downtown ornaments in their midst. We have dipped back to the turn of the 20th century to see Cincinnati in the days of horse-drawn buggies and trollies and ridden with Google Street View to see this interplay of old and new.

1. Isaac M. Wise Temple \u2014 720 Plum St.<\/h3>\n

This Byzantine and Moorish-styled show-stopper was dedicated on August 24, 1866 by the members of the Lodge Street Synagogue. It is the creation of architect James Wilson Keys who tapped a style that may be familiar to many Queen City residents with Germanic roots.<\/p>\n
