On August 3, 1903, the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company building burned, but by the time firefighters arrived, an explosion had occurred on the second level that sent flames reaching into the sky. Falling bricks injured three pedestrians. By the time three lines were sent into the building, explosions stemming from the stored barrels of oil and paint began to occur on the south side of the structure on the ground floor. Thankfully, the over 12,000 barrels of turpentine and linseed oil that were stored in an attached iron cellar had not been breached.

But the proposal from a railroad yard and industrial site to a casino was a decades long process that was anything but easy.
In the mid-1800s, the land for Broadway Commons was once home to a Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway yard and train depot until 1969, and various industries and businesses, including Eagle White Lead Company and Queen City Chevrolet. In the late 1990s, the site was sought after for a potential location for the Cincinnati Bengals stadium, and then for the Cincinnati Reds. Issue 1 in 1996 led to a half-cent county sales tax to build new stadiums. On May 29, 1997, the Bengals and the county signed a lease to build Paul Brown Stadium on the riverfront.
