Memorial Hall OTC Cincinnati, OH
I stumbled on this scene while wandering around Memorial Hall. I was given full access to the entire building except the basement for safety reasons, and I was determined to take full advantage of the opportunity. These images were taken before the 2016 renovations. The main auditorium, entrance foyer and stairwells were magnificent prior to the facelift, each adorned in marble and bronze. I had captured most of these highlights and was about to leave when I noticed a narrow concrete staircase behind the main stage leading up to an open door. It looked like a toilet from the stairs but when I entered the doorway I saw this charming parlor with the light from an open window gently illuminating the furnishings. It was as though I was looking at a dressing room from a 1950 's movie set.
