Downtown Cincinnati sure has changed over the years, and these photos of the past illustrate how drastic those alterations have been. The inclines are gone. Many old buildings in the Central Business District were demolished to make room for modern, high-rise office towers. The highways were constructed and took out a lot of the eastern part of the city at the base of Mt. Adams (where I-71 now runs) and the majority of the West End. Some of these changes have us longing for the past, but there are other developments, like the restoration of Music Hall & Union Terminal and the overall renaissance in Over-the-Rhine, that have us excited to head forward into the future.  / Image courtesy of Don Prout and his website CincinnatiViews // Published: 2.15.17
