Fascinating tidbit...thanks for sharing that...had no idea. HMM

Rumor has it that crosley was terrified if fire. Back in the day, the roof water towers would gravity feed sprinklers... cuz water pressure wasn't strong enough to power really tall buildings. I heard the room was there so his guests would have the best protection from fire. I worked in that building when i was a teenager... i recalled a piece of frosted glass in one if the stairways that read "Department of Atomic Energy". I always wanted that piece of glass when the building was abandoned. Another interesting thing was.. NO two way radios worked in the basement. Pagers, walkie talkies,etc were dead. And lastly... When u got off the elevator on the 7th floor... there was a hallway with a glass door directly in front of elevator. As soon as you passed through that glass door... the hair on your neck would stand up. It was the creepiest 20 or so feet in that entire building.

That's interesting. I'd be afraid of fire too...thanks for sharing that.@@VTwin4Christ

Oh that's a great book; I've read it too. I'll have to rewatch this video to answer your questions. Thanks for your support...HMM

You are correct on Mt. Airy Park area. Yep...Crosley won the World Series with the Reds. A friend set the tour up for me, so it was free...not sure what it costs, if anything. Good to hear from you again, Tom. HMM

No doubt. If someone really wants inside that safe, it's definitely doable. Thanks for your support! HMM

Interesting...didn't know that. Thanks...HMM

I've never been to that cemetery, but I'll check it out...thanks.

Good question! Thanks...HMM

I wouldn't be surprised. Thanks for watching! HMM

@@HistoryMysteryMan what other famous buildings in the town ? Do you ever go to Detroit. My home town. ? Many Historical buildings there and Homes !

@@JamesBond-hu9rg Of course. I've spent a lot of time in Detroit over the years...love the Motor City! I live super close. Thanks...HMM

@@HistoryMysteryMan many old buildings are being rebuilt. Unfortunately NOT the Packard one. I herd it’s a 💯 % tear down 😳😵‍💫😬

@@JamesBond-hu9rg Bummer on the Packard...

Prohibition was a stupid law. Anyways, people don't like things being forced on them. Kind of like what our government's doing to us today with these electric cars and all this green energy crap so having that wine cellar was good
