This edition is an unabridged, full-color facsimile of that volume, reproduced from the copy in the Library of Congress: the ornate title and key map, the publisher's report and complete street index, and all thirty-seven double-page plates with their skeleton supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume One covers Cincinnati's downtown core in the year the city counted 300,000 residents: the Ohio River landing and the Cincinnati \u0026amp; Covington Suspension Bridge, Fountain Square, the Post Office and Custom House, Central Union Station, the Miami Canal, Garfield Place, Washington Square, and Lincoln Park, reaching north through Over-the-Rhine to Findlay Market and west through the West End. Every building appears with its footprint color-coded by construction — pink for brick, yellow for frame, blue for stone — with fire walls, iron shutters, and occupancies lettered in place, from Hall's Safe \u0026amp; Lock Co. and the Fleischmann \u0026amp; Co. yeast works to the Chamber of Commerce, the Catholic Cathedral, Cincinnati Hospital, and the Queen City Club. The publisher's report records the city itself: a fire department of 298 men and 118 horses, 26 steam fire engines, 371 alarm boxes, and the reservoirs at Eden Park and Mt.
