These 20 Historic Signs Around Town Tell the Story of Cincinnati

Books and articles may be your go-to sources to learn more about Cincinnati's history, but peppered around the city are historic markers…

By Katherine Barrier

Herzog Studio/Hank Williams at Herzog
Where you can find the marker: Just outside CityBeat’s office at 811 Race St., Over-the-Rhine.
The history: Cincinnati’s first commercial recording studio, Herzog Studio, was opened on the second floor of CityBeat’s building in 1945 by brothers “Bucky," a WLW radio engineer, and Charles Herzog, making the Queen City the place to record country music before Nashville came calling. The studio worked with artists and musicians from WLW and King Records and stars like Hank Williams, Pattie Page and The Delmore Brothers. Herzog even cut Williams’ “Lovesick Blues,” the song that launched Williams to superstardom and earned him an invite to the Grand Ole Opry.
