}}Gwynne Building is a registered historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on August 3, 1979.[1]

History

The almost 125,000-square-foot twelve-story Gwynne Building was completed in 1914.[2] The building was designed by Ernest Flagg, who also designed the Singer Building in New York and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.[3]

The structure was commissioned by Flagg's cousin, Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt, who was the wife of Cornelius Vanderbilt II.[4] Alice and Ernest were first cousins as Alice's mother,[5] Rachel Moore Flagg, was the sister of Flagg's father, Jared Bradley Flagg.[6][7] Alice named the Gwynne Building in honor of her father, Abraham Evan Gwynne, a prominent Cincinnati lawyer and Judge.[5][8][9] Her paternal grandfather, Major David Gwynne, was a real estate broker in Cincinnati,[10] who's family was among the early settlers of Cincinnati,[11] and Alice was said to be a distant relative of the Longworth family.[5] She inherited the property at 6th and Main St. and her brother took the corner of 4th and Main St.[9]

The tallest section, the tower, is 13 stories. The Beaux-Arts style building is made of steel and concrete the exterior is rendered in Indiana limestone,[11] brick and granite.[8] Originally the building was considered fireproof as there was "no wood of any description being used,"[11] even the floors were buffed cement with the hall floors mosaics.[11] The corners of the building are adorned with ox heads.[10]

In addition to the 1913 building, the east building was built in 1916, and the north building was built in 1939.[8]

Tenants

From 1935 until 1956, the office building housed the headquarters of Procter & Gamble (P&G).[12][13] The P&G World Headquarters are now located in twin towers several blocks to the east.[8]

In 1992, the building was purchased by a group of tenants and investors from EQ Office, which was owned by Chicago billionaire real estate investor Sam Zell, founder and chairman of Equity International.[14] The purchase was followed by an about $1,000,000 in renovations.[14]

In July 2014, the building, which was then 88% occupied, was offered for sale.[8] The tenants included Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, Sound Images (later renamed Gwynne Sound),[15] the Charles H. Dater Foundation and the Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Film Commission.[8] It was purchased by an investment group led by Patrick Gates.[16]
