Cincinnati's Forgotten Phone Exchange | Cincinnati News

Step into Cincinnati’s Northside and discover a stunning 1925 phone exchange building that’s more than just a relic—it’s a Mediterranean Revival masterpiece designed by famed architect Harry Hake, who also crafted the Taft Theatre and Crosley Field. Originally serving Cincinnati Bell’s neighborhood switchboards, this buff brick and terra cotta gem was built to harmonize with the grand Jergens mansion next door (now gone). Today, owned by Altafiber, it stands as a quiet testament to early 20th-century utility design—still functional, still beautiful, and quietly blending into its historic neighborhood.
