Al Schottlekotte’s Cincinnati History videos popped up in the algorithm on YouTube and I learned about the Albee Theater. The movie palace is long gone from the present day fountain square but the arch entrance still exists–grafted to this side entrance of the Convention Center.
Oodles more information and photos on Ann Senefeld’s post Lost Cincinnati – The Albee.
I remember when the facade of the was relocated to the improving conversation center from the 1980’s. Now that the convention center is under going an 18 month renovation, I can’t wait this city owned property will end up.
