In this street view, the Midland Building rises to the right and the 12-story Skylight Office Tower to the left. The former Higbee's department store building lies across West Prospect at center, enclosing the vista and adding to the appearance that one is in the heart of the city. This is at once true and false, for if one turns around, one sees an open vista of the river and Ohio City beyond. Skylight Office Tower was built in 1991 in conjunction with another new building to its west (now home to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel), both them flanking the Avenue at Tower City Center, developed as a downtown shopping mall. Until 2016, Skylight Tower was home to one of only two Hard Rock Cafe restaurants in Ohio. | Creator: J. Mark Souther | Date: May 4, 2025Download Original File
