The Downtown Cincinnati Modeled Telephone Building
Echo
The explosive growth in population and wealth caused Northside to outgrow the Park Telephone Exchange. In 1925, the Renaissance Revival Building at Hamilton and Bruce Avenues was built as the Kirby Telephone Exchange. Architect Harry Hake (1871-1955) designed it like he did the Cincinnati Bell Telephone Building downtown, with a tall first floor to house the large exchange equipment used at the time with a florid art deco carved details.
