Ode to Crosley is a book and bespoke type family preserving the history of Crosley Tower and honoring its community.

Crosley Tower is an equally loved and hated piece of Brutalist architecture and local lore. In 1967, it was infamously built in a single pour of concrete over the course of 18 straight days for the University of Cincinnati’s chemistry department.

Today, at less than 60 years old, its 17 stories of solid concrete are in the process of slow motion demolition. Crosley’s uniqueness both as a piece of architecture and engineering has created a fan (and hate) following as singular as its own appearance.
