The Fourth & Walnut Center (previously known by the names Clopay Building and the First National Bank Building) is a building in Cincinnati, Ohio. Designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham of D.H. Burnham and Company, the building is an example of Chicago School architecture. The name "Clopay Building" was a portmanteau of "clothing" and "paper".[4] It was the tallest building in the state from its completion in 1904 until 1913. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.

The building was purchased by Texan investment firm Newcrest Image in 2016 at a cost of $9.3 million. The firm subsequently proposed transforming the tower into a 349-room hotel, but was unable to fund the $67 million project. In 2024, the Cincinnati City Council approved a revised plan by Newcrest Image subsidiary Supreme Bright Cincinnati LLC to convert the "mostly vacant" Fourth & Walnut Center into a mixed-use building. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the project includes plans for a luxury hotel with 280 rooms, 16 "high-end" apartments, a restaurant, and a bar. The city of Cincinnati will not provide funding for the estimated $175 million renovation, but is granting the developer a 15-year tax abatement.[5]
