The Cincinnati and Suburban Telephone Company Building in Cincinnati, OH is a historic structure that was originally built in 1893 as part of the Lake Street Elevated Railroad. The building features twin station houses and side platforms, designed in a Queen Anne style with a Victorian Gothic influence, and is one of only two surviving stations from the original line. The station houses have unique architectural details, including decorative metal and wood trim, gabled roofs with cupolas, and diamond patterns in the windows. Throughout its history, the Cincinnati and Suburban Telephone Company Building has undergone various modifications, including the removal of stairs due to road widening and the consolidation of fare collection onto one side of the station. The station also served as both an A and B stop at different times, and had canopies and railings that covered the platforms. Today, the building remains in use and stands as a testament to the city's transportation history and architectural heritage.Generated from the website
