Dixie Terminal Arcade - a photo on Flickriver

            As a historical link to Northern Kentucky, The Dixie Terminal, a wonderful historic building in Cincinnati was built in the 1920's was the central location - or home station - for street cars, and then buses that traveled from Northern Kentucky across the Ohio river to Cincinnati.  The arcade-the central portion of the building-features ornate decoration. The terminal is now owned by Great American Insurance and contains offices on all three floors. The balcony around the interior of the entire structure is made of marble, as are the stairways, the walls, and the two staircases from the basement to the first floor. Brass hand-railings compliment the 24 K gold gilded circular disks which decorate the arched barrel shaped arcade. Each disk contains an artist representation of cherubs with animals at play or work.  In it's early years, the building was home to the Cincinnati Stock Exchange. The exterior features tiles crafted by Rookwood Pottery, another Cincinnati business with wares that have become timeless treasures. The terminal has been featured in many movies, including Rainman, which was filmed throughout the Greater Cincinnati area, starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. The Dixie Termina. Stunning architecture designed by several artists, including a photographer, prior to the Great Depression.
