For anyone who has traveled through the Over The Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, the iconic Warner Brothers Pictures building at West Liberty & Central Parkway has probably always caught your eye and your imagination as to what went on in that building. Fortunately we had the opportunity to sit down and interview the property owner, Peg Wyant who has restored this and other historic building in Cincinnati. Here's her story about this unique building.

My great grandmother worked there for many years as a film cutter. I remember her telling us how grateful she was to work there as she was widowed during the Depression. Before getting a job at Warner she had been doing much more physically demanding jobs scrubbing floors and the like. The Warner Brothers building has always been one that brought back fond memories whenever I would pass by. So beyond my general appreciation for those preserving historical buildings, thank you for saving this one particularly.

I'm absolutely in love with everything that Peg Wyant has done with her renovation and saving the historical buildings. Really enjoy your interviews with her. This was a great one. I've always been curious about the WB building.

I’m now fascinated by Cincinnati. The river, the Roebling bridge, German heritage, the abandoned subway, and now the Over the Rhine neighborhood all make me want to visit. Ditto Syracuse, NY

@kevind8752 5 месяцев назад

Come check us out. Lots to offer. Sports teams, world renowned zoo, numerous craft breweries, arts, over the rhine district, the Banks district on the river, wright-Patterson Air Force museum an hour north, kings island amusement park, etc

Worked there for a few years. Wonderful people. Awesome city! Lots to offer!

@austinbevis4266 5 месяцев назад

Having worked in this very building, it’s really not all that. Too hot in the summer and ice cold in the winter. Also super bland inside and the toilets rarely flushed and the faucets frequently had no water

@tammyjantzen9004 5 месяцев назад

The innards didn't look too inviting. But I do love the art deco tiles behind the interviewers. @@austinbevis4266

As a student at UC in the early 80's, i went there once to pick up a reel film for an event we were having in the TUC building on campus. Thats all i remember! Lol! I look at the building whenever i go by it and think of that! Nice interview!

Across the street from the Warner Bros. Building is Sam Adam's brewery formerly Shoenling brewery home of the "Little Kings" cream ale and on the corner across from that was Burger Brewery.

@austinbevis4266 5 месяцев назад

That Warner bros building is an office for the controller of Sam adams. I would know, I worked in there last year and he was my boss lol. There’s a few other important brewery office staff in there as well

We stay in OTR when we visit Cincinnati and drive by the Warner Bros. building a lot. Thanks for this video. We always wondered about it. OTR is an amazing place to stay. We highly recommend it!

Perhaps Cincinnati being a major railroad hub in the years before the war played a part in locating the distribution center at that location.

@historyinyourownbackyard2363 2 месяца назад

That's an idea!

@rock2blues59 5 месяцев назад

Like MadcapSkippy commented also my aunt worked there. When the film came back from showing at the local theaters they would put on white cotton gloves and check for cracks or tears, repair and re-tension the films before sending to the next theater.

@historyinyourownbackyard2363 5 месяцев назад

What an amazing amount of work back then.

@tinas2782 2 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing; I've often been curious; as a Cincinnatian. In 1990's, the county owned or leased some of the nearby buildings on Central Parkway; I worked for one of the departments that stored boxes of records, and recall seeing the vaults where film had been stored. Those buildings have been repurposed/developed into apartments now.

@historyinyourownbackyard2363 2 месяца назад

I only had a chance to see the building from the outside where the apartments are now located.

@tinas2782 2 месяца назад

@@historyinyourownbackyard2363 Film Center Apartments is one of them. It's not my cup of tea; too sterile & office like for a home. Some like it though. It was very plain when I was there; no fancy architecture inside that I recall.

Can you do Perintown in Clermont County, Ohio? I have ancestors buried there that died in early 1800s. I love watching your videos.

Your guest was very interesting. Would love to sit and talk. When I was in high school I helped a friend’s older brother unload film/TV show trucks late evenings like 6 to 10 PM into a warehouse. Not sure of location but maybe warehouse in Clifton area?

@historyinyourownbackyard2363 Месяц назад

I'm not sure either.
