history Closson's, closed in 2010, was a Cincinnati establishment which was first founded as an art gallery in 1866 by Asa Burton Closson Jr. (1837-1910).

The gallery offered interior design services, custom framing and sold window and wall coverings, Oriental rugs, nineteenth- and twentieth-century American paintings, prints, sculpture, Far Eastern and West African artifacts and Russian icons.

In 1964, the gallery begins representing regional artists such as John Ruthven Frank McElwain and is run by Phyllis Weston (1947–). When the gallery relocates to Hyde Park in 2004, it included her name, The Phyllis J. Weston Art Gallery at Closson’s.

Four years after the death of Alfred Burton Closson (1897-1989), and in 1993, the Closson family sold the business Stuart B. Sutphin, III (c. 1951-; department store heir, Hudson Department Store).
