CINCINNATI — Five years ago, the Great American Tower was finished and at 665 feet became downtown's tallest building. With its distinct tiara and looming presence over Great American Ball Park, the skyscraper has become a notable fixture in the city's already famous skyline.
Photographer Dave Schmidt has captured the 41-story structure from several angles for WCPO Insiders.
Schmidt is the photographer for Cincygram. That's his incredibly popular Instagram handle. He has more than 24,000 followers on Instagram, where he focuses on the beauty this region has to offer.
