The Historic Dixie Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a notable landmark that was completed in 1921. Designed by architect Frederick W. Garber, the terminal served as a streetcar terminal, stock exchange, and office building. It features a stunning Adamesque barrel-vaulted concourse, Rookwood Architectural Faience entry arch, and intricate Rookwood tiles manufactured by the local Rookwood Pottery Company.
Constructed with reinforced concrete and finished in gray brick, Bedford limestone, and granite, the terminal consists of two structures: a 4-story south building and a handsome 10-story north building. The north building housed various facilities, including the Cincinnati Stock Exchange, railroad ticket agencies, administrative offices, commercial offices, and shops. With its elaborate arcade, marble floors, decorative ceilings, and unique medallions depicting children riding on animals, the Dixie Terminal was a bustling hub until it ceased streetcar service in the 1950s and bus service in 1998.
