Our Backstory
From Confinement to Creativity
At 516 Linn Street in Queensgate, walls that once held inmates now hold opportunity. The land functioned as a stone yard, and later an 8-story tower was built on the land in 1906. The building warehoused several enterprises, most noteworthy (and long lasting) being Kruse Hardware. In 1992 the warehouse became a county jail, a function it served until closing in December of 2008. Arrand Development reimagined it as LINNcinnati — a creative and business nexus with over 100 affordable studios.
Half the tenants are artists. Half are entrepreneurs. Together they form a rare ecosystem where creativity and commerce feed each other.
