Carew Tower, 441 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A. / Architects: Walter W. Ahlschlager, Delano & Aldrich / Completed: 1931

            Carew Tower is a 49-story, 574-foot (175 m)  skyscraper completed in 1931 in the central business district of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The building overlooks the Ohio River waterfront.  As of 2016 it is the second-tallest building in the city and was added to the register of National Historic Landmarks on April 19, 1994. It is named for Joseph T. Carew, proprietor of the Mabley & Carew department store chain, which had previously operated on the site since 1877.

Building Facts :

Construction began in September 1929, one month before the Stock Market crash. The resulting budget cuts forced changes in the design, including a switch from limestone cladding to brick, and a reduction in decorative metalwork.

The basement parking garage has a tile floor and multicolored terra-cotta ornamentation.

Upon completion, the lower floors were home to the Mabley & Carew Department Store, one of Cincinnati's largest. The store eventually moved across 5th Street to The Mabley & Carew Building.

The former department store space was renovated in the early 1990s and is now part of the Tower Place mall.

There is an outdoor public observation deck above the 48th floor. It is reached by taking the main elevators to the 45th floor and then by stairs or another separate elevator.

The 49th floor consists of a small room with a ticket attendant and gift shop. This room opens directly to the observation platform.

This building was once accompanied by the Carew-Netherland Garage, one of the tallest buildings ever built devoted exclusively to parking.

The romanesque Carew Building and the Hotel Emery & Arcade were demolished to make way for this tower.
