The Catholic cathedral was originally constructed in 1895, with the portion containing the doorway arch added in 1910. The church’s design was inspired by both the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Basilica of Saint-Denis, in Paris, France.

The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, originally known as the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge was renamed in honor of its designer and builder. When it opened in 1867, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Roebling is also known for designing what would become the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. However due to his death during the course of the project, finishing that bridge fell to his son, Washington Roebling, who completed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883.
