Description
Engraving
of the
Cincinnati
Exposition
Hall
in the
1870's
. The
building
is
also
known
as
Saengerfest
Hall
or
Music
Hall
. The
Venetian
Gothic
music
hall
was
built
by
Hannaford,Samuel
,
&
Sons
. The
land
was
originally
purchased
in
1818
for
$3,200
at the
West
Side
of
Elm
Street
and
North
of
12th
Street
(14th
street)
. In
1821
the
building
was
used
as
Ohio's
first
insane
asylum
,
later
the
area
was
used
as an
orphan
asylum
beginning
in
1832
.
Later
,
during
a
cholera
outbreak
the
building
was
used
to
house
diseased
people
and the
surrounding
area
was
used
as a
cemetery
to
bury
the
deceased
.
Beginning
in
1859
the
surrounding
area
was
called
Elm
Street
Park
and
it
remained
a
place
for
recreation
until
1870
when
the
hall
was
used
as an
exposition
hall
.
During
the
years
1870-1876
when
the
hall
was
used
for
industrial
expositions
the
building
was
able
to
accommodate
up
to
8
acres
of
industrial
and
horticulture
displays
.
Exposition
Hall
was a
huge
wooden
structure
that was
250
feet
long
,
100
feet
wide
, and
80
feet
tall
. In
1876
the
hall
was
converted
to a
music
hall
with
no
stage
.
It
was not
until
1890
when
the
hall
installed
a
proscenium
theater
stage
so
that
performers
had a
proper
environment
for their
acts
. The
hall
is
currently
still
used
for
musical
performances
and
it
is
renowned
around
the
world
for its
architectural
design
and
strangely
known
for its
supposed
paranormal
activity
.
