Communiversity Class Focuses on Preservation Triumphs in the Queen City
Burnham is nationally-known for skyscrapers in New York City, Chicago and Washington D.C. He was the architect for the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893 and designed the Flatiron Building in New York City. Between 1901 and 1905, Burnham also designed four of Cincinnatis spires between East 4th and 5th Streets.
In 1901, Burnham built the Union Savings Bank and Trust at the corner of Fourth and Walnut. The bank was Cincinnatis first skyscraper and is now the Renaissance Hotel.
