Going on a limb here. I searched for the Columbia Hotel in the 1927 Cincinnati Directory and didn't immediately find it which I thought was odd. So I dug a little deeper and found mention of Columbia Park which was established in 1925 by Columbia Power Gas & Electric. They owned the Miami Fort Power Plant. Apparently Columbia Park was built for the workers. According to the article I saw they paid rent for accommodations including a clubhouse which had rooms to let. I wonder if this might be also known as the Columbia Hotel?? If so the power plant was situated nearby and workers could walk to work. I believe it was a partially coal fired plant. A tenuous link to coal and mining..... Just a guess on my part......
