      Turn right on Fourth Street, which is Cincinnati’s version of Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue and New York’s Fifth Avenue. One mile long, it starts with the ease of Lytle Park behind you and then gradually becomes the city’s main financial thoroughfare before terminating at its increasingly residential western edge. Cross Broadway Street and continue west on Fourth Street. Christ Church Cathedral, 318 E. Fourth St., was completed in 1835 and rebuilt in 1957; it remains the street’s only church. Cross Sycamore Street and continue west past Atrium I and II office buildings. Garber & Woodward designed the Classical Revival–style Duke Energy building, completed in 1929, at the southwest corner of Fourth and Main Streets. Next door on Fourth Street is a tiny row of three buildings dating to 1870.

      Walk to Walnut Street for a view of downtown’s most towering historic corner. Significant buildings include (from the southeast corner, clockwise) Fourth & Walnut Centre, designed by Daniel H. Burnham (1903); Dixie Terminal (1921), with a grandiose barrel-vaulted lobby offering a view of Roebling Suspension Bridge; Bartlett Building, also designed by Daniel H. Burnham (1901) and reborn as a Renaissance Hotel in 2014; Formica Building (1971); and Mercantile Library Building (1905). North of the library at the southeast corner of Fifth and Walnut Streets is Tri-State Building (1902), another Burnham building. Cross Fourth Street and walk to Fourth National Bank Building (1905), on the north side of the street. It was the last one built of four early 20th-century downtown skyscrapers designed by the Chicago firm headed by Burnham.
