In 1880, the Democrats held their national convention in Music Hall. Cincinnati Tennis Club opened on indoor courts in the South Wing. Thomas Alva Edison was honored at Music Hall in 1929. In 1931, the Society of American Florists held their national flower and garden show there. In the mid-1940s, University of Cincinnati basketball, wrestling and boxing performed in the North Wing.
Music history is embodied in every inch of the place.
