Description by Chris Cousins of Urban Ohio. T ri-State Building is one of the few Burnham skyscrapers in Cincinnati. Built in 1903, and standing 215 feet, it is one of the few surviving old skyscrapers in the Midwest. The gorgeous brown and white Neo-classical building is clearly more Chicago or Clevelandesque than most other buildings in the city (seeing how the city was mostly ornate and rejected the notion of building high at the time due to views).
