“Nonument” near Kenwood Mall
Jump to Comments
These old, decrepit, former retail shells always amuse me in a sad way. Reader John sends this in.
It reminded me of the two other nonuments that I know of, perhaps the two best examples of them. These are the two restaurants in the parking lot of Cincinnati Mills mall, which was featured in a Queen City Discovery post. Here’s the one which was a former Roadhouse Steakhouse or something.

Could turn it into condos I guess.

The one at the corner of Kenwood and Madison was completed in the last year and housed a jewelry store. It’s so new, it’s not even shown on the Hamilton County Auditor’s website! Unfortunately for Cincinnatians, our local architects tend to give clients what they ask for, rather than clients seeking out designers who have a style of their own. And by ‘clients’ I refer to DEVELOPERS (who are right down there in the 10th circle of hell w/ lawyers) who are never the end-users… If banks would lend money to individual businesses for design services, we’d have a completely different architectural landscape.
