History 
During construction,  of pilings were driven to support the concrete foundations.  The piers between the first floor doors are of Bedford limestone.  4.25 million bricks were used in the walls.  Floor loads are carried on steel girders and these in turn are carried on steel columns.  Floors, joists, roof beams, etc., are frame requiring  of lumber.

The lower floor was designed as the inbound freight house with the upper four floors for storage. The facility trackage could accommodate 125 cars. Other facilities included a boiler house, a 6 stall roundhouse, a coal tipple and a U.S. Customs Bonded Warehouse, for the care of imported goods.

Tenants 
The Cincinnati Children's Museum occupied all four stories at the western end of Longworth Hall until floodwaters inundated the building during the flood of 1997, forcing the museum to relocate to the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal the following year.
