Gibson House (Cincinnati)

The Gibson House was located on Main St. between 4th & 5th (south of Fountain Square) until the 1970s.

The hotel was financed by Peter Gibson, a Scottish immigrant who was born October 20, 1802, and emigrated to America in 1831.

Many wall decorations and frescoes were painted by the artist William A. Thien, who lived in Cincinnati for a time.

[4] During World War II, Gibson House was used as an internment camp for German-Americans.

[7] The original Gibson House was demolished in 1912 after being destroyed by fire and was redeveloped as the Sheraton-Gibson hotel.
