University of Cincinnati Molecular Studies Building

The University of Cincinnati Molecular Science Building is an award winning architectural marvel. It was designed so that now walls met at a 90 degree angle. This eye catching building is a destination for many simply due to its exceptional design. Vontz Center for Molecular Studies at the University of Cincinnati's Medical Center  was dedicated in September 1999. Its curving outer walls combine brick panels with long curtains of windows. An interior atrium features a twisting concrete staircase. Click here for more information on this building.

Homes

On left: This Swiss Chalet is in Cincinnati. Taking its style and shape from the immigrant influence of the settlers of this city, this standout home is inviting and charming. It is in the Mt. Adams Neighborhood. Right: Also in this neighborhood is the Rockwood Pottery Restaurant, which is housed in the old Rockwood Pottery Workshop. People can literally eat their meals inside of the old unused kilns in the building. Wonderful examples of the pottery are displayed around the building.

The neighborhood of Hyde Park is home to this quite unusual architectural one of a kind building.
