Greyhound Station [gone]
Cincinnati, OH Greyhound Station
Portsmouth, OH

The Cincinnati station was designed by Arrasmith and built from 1941-1942. It was faced with Indiana limestone and had black terra cotta trim. The interior featured terrazzo floors, a restaurant, barber shop and drug store. Many aspects of the building's design were used later in the Cleveland, OH station. The building has been demolished.
The Portsmouth station was designed by George D. Brown and built around 1939. It is still there but painted battleship grey. The large garage door in front has been bricked up. The building is now used as some sort of storage facility for a charity organization. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [info thanks Debbie Whited]

Greyhound Station [gone]
Dayton, OH Greyhound Station [gone]
Akron, OH

The Dayton station was designed by Arrasmith and opened in 1940. It featured a large restaurant and an unusually large pylon exterior sign. The building has been demolished.
The Akron station was designed by Arrasmith and built in 1949. It was faced with buff-colored brick. The interior featured a Post House cafeteria and terrazzo floors. This was the first and only Greyhound station that featured access to rail service under the same roof. This building was also the first departure from the streamline style to a more modern look. This building was demolished in 1990.

Greyhound Station [gone]
Toledo, OH

The Toledo station featured an atypical Greyhound design and was probably used by another bus company originally. The building has been demolished.

Greyhound Station
Cleveland, OH

The Cleveland station was designed by Arrasmith and built in 1948. It was faced with Indiana limestone. The interior featured a drug store, smoke shop, and 24-hour 180-seat restaurant. In 2000, $5 million was spent to restore the 40,000 square foot building. It would've been cheaper to build a new station but Greyhound was committed to saving it. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As part of the restoration, the second floor was converted to a 19-room dormitory for bus drivers and the restaurant was moved from the front to the eastern section of the building.
