Cincinnati, OH, August 20, 2026 —
CINCINNATI – The Phoenix, a historic event venue originally designed in 1893 by architect Samuel Hannaford, is slated for a reopening early next year. The landmark building, located at Eighth and Race Street in Cincinnati, is recognized for its distinctive architectural features, including intricate woodwork, Tiffany stained-glass windows, and a notable marble staircase.
The Scottish Rite Masons acquired The Phoenix in 2024. Following the purchase, local event company DelightMore has been engaged to manage the venue’s operations. The reimagined space is set to offer four distinct event areas for various functions.
During the renovation process, efforts were made to preserve the original architectural elements that define The Phoenix’s historic character. Concurrently, modern amenities have been incorporated to enhance the venue’s functionality for contemporary events. The combination aims to blend the building’s rich past with present-day needs.
