Cincinnati Gentleman - Painted Guest Post

Cincy Bill returns today with another post. Actually this is three different posts he sent me and I combines into one big Painted Guest post. Thanks Cincy Bill. Colorado update: This morning is more hunting. The packers should be in camp around noon to pack us back down the mountain. Then it's getting a shower and eating something good.

The Belmont Cafe was located 1121 Race Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. It was a dive restaurant. It was razed in 2006 to make room for Cincinnati Public School's new School for Creative and Performing Arts, (Grades 4 through 12) which is scheduled to open this spring.


The Dennison Hotel is located in the downtown central business district of Cincinnati at 716 Main Street. It is an eight-story building which was built in 1890, is currently a 105-unit single-room occupancy hotel.They rent rooms by the week. The clientele is one step up from the homeless.
Bill Haas is a local painting contractor and has done some other wall signs in Cincinnati.





The Greater Cincinnati Police Historical Society Museum http://www.gcphs.com/index.html is located at 959 West Eighth Street
in the back part of the Cincinnati Police Federal Credit Union.

The first painting is by the front door of the museum and I am pretty sure it is Police Officer Jim O'Neal and Handsome the first unofficial police canine.

The second painting was completed this summer as project of the "Art Works" where art students complete public art projects such as this.
The figures left to right Old Ohio State Patrol, Old Cincinnati Police, Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy. The buildings are the Carew Tower and the PNC Bank Building the two tallest buildings in Cincinnati.
