Letchworth State Park was created by the stroke of the pen of New York State Governor Charles Evans Hughes in 1907. It was a fine addition to the fledgling state Park system, the gift of a retired businessman and philanthropist, William Pryor Letchworth.
The new Park consisted of the thousand acre estate called the "Glen Iris" which Letchworth had lovingly developed over half a century. The Park was a treasure chest full of natural splendor and history, awaiting those who were willing to come and explore it. And for almost a century, they have come.
I feel bad about the original drone vid I did for this place. It was a bugs drone with a GoPro. I went back today and re-shot with my Mavic Air in 4k.

The Sattler Theater / Broadway Theatre / Basil's Broadway, near Jefferson Avenue, opened in 1914 as a 928-seat movie theater at a cost of $35,000 on the site of the wood-frame Casino Theatre. It was commissioned by John G. Sattler, who also owned Sattler’s Department Store. The Sattler was designed in the Beaux Arts style by Henry Spann. The Sattler changed hands in 1920 and was rechristened the Broadway Theatre, later known as Basil’s Broadway. The building became Muhammad’s Mosque in the mid-1960s and was purchased and occupied by God’s Holy Temple from 1976 to 1984. The building was leased to Joy Temple Church from 1987 to 1996. It is currently owned by Western New York Minority Media Professionals, Inc (WNYMMP), and is slated to be renovated. WNYMMP's restoration plan includes hosting the Annual Professionals of Color in Media Hall of Fame Awards Dinner, as well as showcasing films, theatrical productions, concerts, live events, and business conferences. A dining hall is also planned. A new facility, The Bob Coles Institute for the Media Arts and Technology, is proposed to be constructed behind the theatre. This would also be the home of the Minorities in Media Museum.

Checking out one of the neatest oddities Cincinnati has to offer. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get the owners of the property to let me in. Maybe next time...
The Mushroom House (also known as the TreeHouse) is an ornately fanciful home built by architect Terry Brown in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The one-bedroom house features pressed copper ceilings and a spiral staircase entry.
It was built between 1992 and 2006 and served as the architect's secondary residence until his death in 2008. Standing on the busy corner of Erie and Tarpis Avenues, it is a prominent Cincinnati landmark and one of Cincinnati's best-known residences.
The Mount Airy Forest, in Cincinnati, Ohio, was established in 1911. It was one of the earliest, if not the first, urban reforestation project in the United States.
