Cincinnati: Ivorydale and Industrial St. Bernard

[grasscat]

Hi

Please check out my newest photo tour of Ivorydale and the industrial areas of the city of St. Bernard:

CINCINNATI TOURS: Ivorydale and Industrial St. Bernard

Ivorydale was built by P&G in 1886 as the headquarters of its manufacturing concerns. Today, most of the buildings have been sold off but are still in use.

St. Bernard is an independent city along I-75 a few miles north of downtown Cincinnati, along the Mill Creek. While the residential and commercial areas lie east of the interstate, the portion west of I-75 along Spring Grove Ave. and Vine St. are heavily industrial and criss-crossed with a network of railroad tracks.

The above link features maps, aerials, and over 90 photos from the tour, along with descriptions-as well as separate pages featuring the history and the demographics of the area. There is also the capability to jump around to various areas within the page.

I have also added a guestbook. Please sign it-it

Thanks, somestyle.

Ivorydale itself is pretty cool looking--P&G did it right as far as the quality of their buildings. Today it seems that companies don't even try to make a manufacturing center that is pleasing to the eye.

Some of the other areas are a bit bleak, though.

I love this kind of industrial area. I always wonder what the hey they are doing in those factories. Probably stirring 5 million gallons of hot Crisco. Whoa.
