When I was a teenager, my parents owned a Post newspaper route, and I got to go along when my dad went to 800 Broadway to take care of business. I got to see the 3-story-tall printing presses. Decades later, I worked for Burke Marketing when they moved from Walnut Hills into this building. They had Hannaford & Sons come back in to remodel the workspace. I worked in a cubicle where the presses used to be.
I was first in this building in the 1970s selling news photographs to the newspaper. Then in the 1980s I worked in the building until 1988 when it was occupied by Burke Market Research. It is gorgeous inside. The 4th floor that was mentioned, and other lower floors in the back section of the building are cavernous with incredibly huge columns. It was obviously built for extremely heavy machinery.
Our family business "Crown Iron Works" produced all of the ornamental metal work on the Cincinnati Times Star Building in the early 1930's: Front Entrance, Newsboys entrance, all metal work throughout building. I have a few pieces from this building "samples" that we've kept all these years. We are celebrating our 140th year at Crown and I am digging out lots of photos of this building and others to print and frame in our new lobby. Would love to visit this building and see these images I've seen throughout my life in person!
Hi David! Would you have any interest in having a documentary video produced on the history of your company? I can send you some information if you like or you can give me a call at 812-623-5727.
I would sit there and wait for my mom to get off work Ed admire how beautiful the building was must thank you for the work what they did to make it so beautiful
Fantastic video! The Times Star is easily one of my favorite buildings in the country. Hopefully a movie maker decides to film a movie set in the 1930s here one day! We have everything they’d need, from the Union Terminal train station, to the Netherland Plaza Hotel, the Esquire Theater, Times Star Building, endless late 19th / early 20th C. Italianate buildings in OTR, Music Hall and now a street car system that they could put some old fashion street cars on!
I'm glad you made this. It's definitely the prettiest building in the Cincinnati skyline. I would have liked more shots of the building as the interview went on, but I'm glad to have the video at all. I'm sorry it's a county court building now, and not just because that's a boring and depressing use for the building. Counties are notorious for not keeping buildings well, and I'm guessing that's why the building stays so sooty and grimy on the outside. I've seen how Pittsburgh transformed many buildings in much worse shape, so I know it can be done.
As a kid growing up in NKY we got the three papers - TImes-Star, the KY Post and the Enquirer. Must have been a strange kid because I loved read all three - after Dad was finished with them. Glad to see that some of the neat old buildings are being looked after.
Glad you like the video Marie! It's definitely a beautiful building with a deep history. When I was a kid I use to deliver the Times Star newspaper in the Price Hill area.
Great video! Thanks! Iwas born and grew up in Cincinnati/Northern Ky. Gave the video a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel, and am looking forward to viewing more of your videos.
My mom worked in this building after they pulled the Machinery out they put in cubicles and she was a data entry operator there Burke marketing research
Thanks for this lovely video. I love this building. My father was a newsboy for the Time-Star. I love the pictures of the newsboy entrance. I think of my dad whenever see it. It is a beautiful building.

Amazing how things change.

Definitely a one of a kind building.
Today, I fell in love with this building. So many lovely buildings to explore in Cincinnati. 🥰
I agree 100%.
Cincinnati has a good number of these gems around downtown and in many suburbs.
Yes they do!
Hannaford the best!

Very nice job! Thank you. Have wondered about this building.

I enjoyed viewing this video about the Times-Star Building very much. I once loved reading the newspaper "TIMES STAR" very much. Thank you!

Glad you like it Darlene. I use to deliver papers for the Times Star too back in the early 1970s. It was a different world back then.
It's a shame these videos focus on filming the speakers rather than showing and filming the actual subject matter in detail.
