Carew Tower, Cincinnati, Ohio

At 48 stories, the Carew Tower is Cincinnati's tallest building and is contemporary with the Empire State Building in New York City; together these buildings helped establish a period of highly concentrated urban design in American cities. A five story base element has a lower course of granite with smooth limestone above and the windows are framed in polished bronze. Relief elements are provided by white metal castings and stone carvings bear distinctive Art Deco characteristics.
