the Dam was not destroyed. A section of County Highway A on a narrow section of land between lake Delton and the Wisconsin River gave away and wash away lest five nearby homes do to the flood.
Cincinnati Union Terminal officially opened on March 31, 1933 with a crowd estimated at 50,000 attending the dedication ceremony. The last great railroad station built in the United States, Union Terminal is considered an Art Deco masterpiece.
George Dent Crabbs, local businessman and civic leader, and the "motivating genius for the new gateway to Cincinnati," negotiated with seven railroads that had been using five separate railroad stations scattered around the city. Through his efforts, the seven railroads agreed in 1927 to construct one "terminal" to serve as a unified, centralized freight and passenger terminal. The project would result in a unified, centralized freight and passenger terminal owned and operated by the Cincinnati Union Terminal Company. The incorporated company then issued common stock to the seven railroads who in turn guaranteed the bonds issued to construct the facility. The seven railroads were: Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Louisville & Nashville Railroad, Cincinnati Southern Railway Company, New York Central Railroad, Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, Norfolk & Western Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The New York architectural firm of Fellheimer and Wagner was chosen to design the building but French architect Paul Cret provided the Art Deco elements that made Union Terminal a distinctive masterpiece. Construction started in August 1929 and the cornerstone was laid on November 20, 1931, in an elaborate ceremony. Trains began using Union Terminal on March 19, 1933—12 days before the official dedication—because flood waters once again closed four of the five existing train stations. The original construction schedule called for the Terminal to open in December 1933 but the project was completed 9 months ahead of schedule.
The project was huge with over 2000 workers constructing 22 buildings over 287 acres. It included the Western Hills Viaduct, a cooling station, machine shop, power plant, roundhouse and a car service building.
Ohio's first publicly owned water system, the Front Street pumping station operated from 1865-1907. It is located in Sawyer Point park along the Ohio River in Cincinnati.
