BUILDING MANAGEMENT CO.

The Dixie Terminal buildings (North and South) were built in 1920 featuring marble floors and brightly decorated ceilings. It was designed by local architects Frederick W. Garber and Clifford B. Woodward in classical revival style with a vaulted arcade suggesting a roman basilica. Medallions adorn the vaulted ceiling depicting cherub-like figures in a variety of playful poses (frolicking, hunting, fishing, dancing, singing and riding a grasshopper).

The concept of the building originated with the need to alleviate the streetcar congestion in the downtown Cincinnati streets as well as Northern Kentucky. The south building featured the transportation terminal and communications center (Western Union) and the north building was one of the first enclosed shopping malls in the nation. In its heyday, roughly 100,000 people passed through the terminal every day with the streetcars from downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky running through the south building up to 1936 and then buses until 1996. It was considered "The Gateway to the South".

Dixie Terminal North housed railroad ticket agencies, the Cincinnati Stock Exchange and the administrative office of the Cincinnati Street Railway Company. The Cincinnati Stock Exchange closed its physical trading floor in 1976 after becoming an all-electronic stock trading exchange but remained in the building until relocating from Cincinnati to Chicago in 1995.

​

Today, Dixie Terminal North and South house multiple tenants in Downtown Cincinnati and is conveniently located just South of Cincinnati's Fountain Square, and multiple sports venues.
