The State of Ohio built Ohio House at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition to showcase the state's industrial capability and natural resources. As the only state building left from the Centennial, the Ohio House has a storied history for all World Fair lovers. Recently it has been converted into a lovely, convenient meeting place for business people those just looking to get away for a bite to eat.

The Centennial Café at Ohio House is just off of Belmont Avenue in West Fairmount Park. The Mann Music Center is nearby as is Memorial Hall, site of the Please Touch Children’s Museum. The Zoo, Boat House Row and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are minutes away.
