Eden Park, owned and operated by the Cincinnati Park Board, is located in the Mt. Adams community of Cincinnati, Ohio. The park began as the designation for the city's water supply, purchased in 1859. However, early on the city saw that the area could also serve the dual purpose of city park. The 186 acre park was originally designed by noted landscape architect Adolph Strauch, who also was responsible for Spring Grove Cemetery.

When the tower opened in 2011, it was 670 feet (200 m) high, 96 feet (29 m) higher than the Carew Tower, which was previously the tallest building in Cincinnati.. It is currently the third tallest building in the state of Ohio.Half the building is occupied by the heaquarters of the Great American Insurance Company.

The building's architect designed the building to include a top inspired by Diana, Princess of Wales's tiara. While flipping through books when he came upon a picture of Diana wearing a crown. "That's perfect. Here we have the crown of the building, and the nickname for the city is Queen City." The building is constructed of glass and aluminum. Jay Chatterjee, a former dean of the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning says that the design is similar to buildings constructed in the United States during the 1980s, that it does not break any new ground at all.
