I believe they tore it down for the Streetcar Project.

The Streetcar comment was tongue and cheek for the Cincy OC'ers. It's the current thing happening Downtown and has been/still is highly debated. It was being built then, then cancelled, now it's being built again. It's about the biggest news topic in Cincy for the past few years. 'They' say it will revitalise the downtown and surrounding area. (I say Bullshit)
