Global Skyline by students at St. Julie Billiart School
Our school is St.Julie Billiart and this is what
our church looks like. Our church burnt down in 1990. We
rebuilt and now we have an even more beautiful church. We
have many parish members in our church.

Soldier's monument stands on a hill over the Great Miami River. On top is a
soldier facing the courthouse. A woman used to be facing him but now the woman
is gone.
The building is circular and the soldier stands on a platform. In front on
either side of the door their are
two small cannons that don't shoot anymore.
On one side of the building there is an old log cabin that was built many
years ago. There is also names of historical
people carved into the sidewalk. Some are names of famous indian chiefs others
are of settlers who founded Hamilton.

The Firehouse
The firehouse next to our school is part of our Hamilton skyline. It's a
large building made of maroon and yellow bricks. On the top of the firehouse
there is a dark yellow horn. On every first Wednesday of each month we have a
tornado drill because the horn sounds on the first Wednesday of every month.
Surrounding the horn is a yellow brick in the shape of a square. There are
brown shingles then light brown brick. The windows are surrounded by yellow
brick. The firehouse helps many people and is just a small part of our Hamilton
skyline.
The First National Bank is one of the biggest buildings in downtown
Hamilton. This Building is a building that has one of those revolving doors.
This bank is an important building for our community.

This post office is located in downtown HAMILTON!.IT is next to the police
station and the court house. A lot of people go there everyday to send mail.
The post office is used to send mail and also it can be used to go and pick up
packages. The post office is very important because if we did not have post
offices we would not be able to send letters to friends and pay bills. We
could not send letters to friends that live far away and you do not get to see
them a lot. Communication is very important to the world. The post Office
handles about 100,000 pieces of mail every day. About 150 people work there.
There are also three branch post offices in the HAMILTON! and Fairfield area.
The post office is very helpful.

The Great Miami River has been a blessing and a curse to our city. This river was a major part in our city's growth. It nearly destroyed our city by a flood,
twice. It is an important part of our city that most people here enjoy.

Elder Beerman is a department store in downtown Hamilton. It has long
display windows that display merchandise such as clothes, shoes, and other
merchandise.
Elder Beermen is a large store that sells anything that you need when you need
it. Elder Beerman is the only department
store in downtown Hamilton. Their are three floors. Two floors have a shoe
section of all kind. Elder Beerman started in 1967 and opened in 1987. There
are about 150-200
people who work there as salespeople or associates. It offers service to
people
that don't have the time or money
to go to the mall.
The Court House is located in downtown HAMILTON! It is very important
to our city. It holds Courtrooms for juvenile's, Divorce, Crime, and other
such uses. The fire department and police force have offices there. You can
get your marriage license there or adopt a child. Without the courthouse our
city would fall apart.
Hamilton's Pioneer log house is a nice figure of
the past. It show's the history of Hamilton .
It shows how our great grandparent's or
grandparent's lived and what they went through.
