Показать описание
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Cincinnati leaders approved a deal on Tuesday that will allow the city to own a music landmark.
Efforts to save the historic King Records property have been underway for more than a decade.
Artists including James Brown and the Stanley Brothers recorded for the iconic label at a studio operated out of a warehouse in Evanston.
King Records closed in 1971.
The building's owner had plans to demolish it before the city got involved.
City Council will vote on Wednesday on a property swap allowing it to be preserved.
It passed a committee vote Tuesday.
Once the money is raised to renovate the building, there are plans to turn it into a museum and recording studio again.
