So in order to give the five readers of this blog the opportunity to voice their opinion on what are the best buildings in Cincinnati, the final two spots in our field of 32 will be chosen by you.
The two top vote getters will move on to compete as the 16th seed in each region. YOU will be able to nominate buildings & structures as well by voting for "other" in the poll on the right and adding a comment to this post. Voting will take place until Wednesday, March 5, at 5:00 pm and the winners announced. In the case of a tie, I will select the winner.

Didn't WH Taft live in the Lombardy when he was younger?
Yeah, the info I have said he lived there in 1883.
Dixie Terminal?
^ You certainly can vote for Dixie Terminal - Completed 1921, Designed by Garber & Woodward. I do not think much of the exterior (a little plain I think) but the interiors are some of the best public spaces in Cincinnati.
