Description:
|
Photographic prints and negatives from 1920 to 1956 from an extensive archive of the City Engineer, City of Cincinnati.
The collection documents the ill-fated attempt by the city's Rapid Transit Commission to construct a subway through Cincinnati. The collection also provides a glimpse at interior views of homes and businesses damaged during the construction, and follows the growth of the city through various street improvement projects that took place between the 1920s and 1950s.
