<p>The George Hoadley Jr. House is a historic residence in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1900, it has been named a historic site because of its unusual construction.</p><br>
<p>The son of George Hoadly, the Governor of Ohio in the 1880s, George Hoadley Jr. was a prominent Cincinnati lawyer and one of the partners in the law firm of Harmon, Colston, Goldsmith, and Hoadley. At the end of the 1890s, Hoadley commissioned the design of his new house from one of the area&#39;s more prominent architectural firms: Elzner and Anderson, which had already produced such structures as the Ingalls Building downtown. Leading proponents of construction with concrete, Elzner and Anderson designed many buildings with the material, but the Hoadley House is one of just two concrete houses that displays the material on its exterior; it is covered with a fake stucco made from concrete. Aside from the exterior, it is much more of a typical area house, being a three-story building with a frame structure, a stone foundation, minor elements of wood, and a roof of ceramic tiles.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, the Hoadley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; besides the house itself, the designation included a single contributing outbuilding. The house qualified for inclusion on the Register because of its distinctive historic architecture: besides its unusual material, it is significant as one of Cincinnati&#39;s earliest and most ornate surviving Mission Revival buildings.</p><br>
<p>Holy Cross Monastery and Church is a registered historic building complex in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on September 13, 1978. Closed in 1977, it is now the corporate headquarters of a property management company, and an event space.</p><br>
<h2>Founding</h2><br>
<p>Between 1873 and 1977, the Holy Cross Monastery was a Roman Catholic monastery atop Mt. Adams in Cincinnati, which served a parish of the same name. It was founded by the Passionists, who were first brought to Mt. Adams in 1871 by John Baptist Purcell, the Archbishop of Cincinnati, to run Immaculata Church, founded in 1860.</p><br>
<p>The first Passionist pastor of Immaculata Parish, Guido Matassi, C.P., immediately saw that the rectory of the parish would be inadequate to their needs as a semi-monastic community. By chance, the building which used to house the Mitchel Observatory (later the Cincinnati Observatory), located only two blocks away from Immaculata Church, was being abandoned due to the effects of industrial pollution.</p><br>
<p>The terms of the will of the donor of the property which had housed the observatory, however, required the return of the property to his heirs. When Matassi approached them about purchasing the property, they demanded a price which he would not pay. With the encouragement and support of Sarah Peter, daughter of an early Governor of Ohio and a noted convert to Catholicism, the city stepped in and purchased the property from the heir. The following year Matassi signed a 99-year lease with the City of Cincinnati for a building and a property atop Mt. Adams. The Passionists remodeled the structure and added a third floor.</p><br>
<h2>The Church and Monastery of the Holy Cross</h2><br>
<p>The first Church of the Holy Cross, made out of wood, was finished in 1873, standing next to the monastery, but in 1895 it was replaced by a large, permanent structure. It served mostly Irish immigrants. Holy Cross added a grade school in 1891. A weekly novena in honor of St. Gabriel began in 1929.</p><br>
<p>In 1899 the monastery was condemned as unsafe, and a new edifice was built in the same location. It was dedicated on June 9, 1901. Underneath the monastery was "The Grotto". Immaculata parish had a Holy Week tradition of people praying the rosary while climbing the 125 steps to the church. After "praying the steps", they would then proceed to "The Grotto" at Holy Cross. It was believed that praying there would enhance the possibility of a cure, and there was a wide assortment of crutches at "The Grotto".</p><br>
<h2>Sale and Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>In 1970 Holy Cross Parish was merged with Immaculata Parish, also located atop Mt. Adams. The combined parish has since been known as Holy Cross-Immaculata. When Holy Cross closed, a statue of St. Patrick was surreptitiously relocated to Immaculata. The Ancient Order of Hibernians annually re-enact St. Patrick&#39;s "liberation" and celebrate with a luncheon and Mass at Immaculata.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-1970s, the Passionist community decided to consolidate their operations to Chicago. After passing through a couple of owners, the monastery is now the corporate headquarters of Towne Properties, a property management company. The church was renovated in 2014 as an event center hosting weddings, receptions, and corporate functions. A chapel garden was installed to complement the newly renovated former church. With the assistance of Towne Properties employees, a statue of an angel was installed n the property by parishioners of Immaculata on a pedestal that previously held one of St. Gabriel.</p><br>
<p>The Hoodin Building was a historic apartment building in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1881, Despite its designation as a historic site, it is no longer standing.</p><br>
<p>Measuring two-and-a-half stories tall, the Hoodin Building was an Italianate structure with weatherboarded walls and a foundation of fieldstone. A raised basement necessitated the construction of wooden stairways to permit access to the building&#39;s front porches, both of which were heavily ornamented. Besides the porches, the building featured such details as a cornice with brackets, a symmetrical facade, and pedimented lintels above the windows of the second story. For this reason, a 1978 historic preservation survey found the building distinctive enough for special mention.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the Hoodin Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its historically significant architecture, which was deemed to be in excellent condition. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to the previous year&#39;s historic preservation survey; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included. Despite this distinction, the Hoodin has been demolished; the site is now an empty lot. Nevertheless, the building remains listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Hooper Building is a historic commercial building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built to a design by a master architect, it is named for an executive of its first occupant, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>From its establishment until 1885, the John Church Company operated from premises at 66 W. 4th Street, selling musical instruments and printed music. It chose to move in 1885, and in 1893 it arranged for the construction of the present structure in the 100 block of 4th Street. The company&#39;s president was William Hooper at this time, and as such, the new building was given his name.</p><br>
<p>Built of brick on a foundation of limestone, the seven-story Hooper Building features a symmetrical facade designed in a variant of the Queen Anne style. Among its most prominent themes are its division into five bays on both the front and the western side, with the three central bays being recessed from the corners. On the top story, the normal lintels give way to an arcade decorated with limestone keystones carven in the shapes of scrolls. Masonry courses divide the building into several vertical components: the second and third stories are separated by a large beltcourse, while lintels are placed throughout the facade.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, much of West 4th Street was designated a historic district, the West Fourth Street Historic District, and added to the National Register of Historic Places. Although the district&#39;s boundaries did not include the Hooper Building, it was expanded eastward in 1979, and the Hooper was included as a contributing property in the larger district. One year later, the building was individually listed on the Register, due to its well-preserved historic architecture. Dozens of other properties in Cincinnati, including the Brittany Apartment Building, were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford.</p><br>
<p>The George Hummel House is a historic residence in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the early 1890s, it is built with numerous prominent components from different architectural styles, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Built of limestone, the Hummel House is covered with a slate roof and features elements of granite. It was built with an irregular and asymmetrical floor plan, including a prominent porch and a turret. The two-and-a-half-story facade is divided into three bays, with the turret on one of the corners; it dominates the appearance, with the two-story porch being the house&#39;s second most prominent feature. Uniformity is absent from the porch: ashlar was used for its first-story pillars, while the flat roof of the second story relies on spindled wooden columns and balustrade. Erected to be the home of George Hummel, the house features variety in its stonework: courses of small blocks alternate with courses of large blocks, while the foundation and water table are built of random stonework in multiple colors. These elements, together with the porch and turret, lend the house an eclectic appearance with influence from multiple styles common during the late Victorian period.</p><br>
<p>Constructed in 1892, the house was designed by master architect Samuel Hannaford. Between 1886 and 1896, Hannaford most favored eclectic designs for residences, and many of his surviving houses from the early 1890s were built with ashlar stone walls with clear courses. When the Hummel House was built, Hannaford was in the middle of the final stage of his career: in 1887 he had entered into partnership with two of his sons, and he retired from practice in 1897. Throughout his career, Hannaford produced buildings of numerous types, including numerous eclectic buildings as well as buildings in a wide range of standard styles.</p><br>
<p>In early 1980, the Hummel House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its well-preserved historic architecture. It was part of a group of more than fifty Hannaford-designed buildings added to the Register together as part of a multiple property submission.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Schoolhouse is a historic one-room school in the Village of Indian Hill, Ohio, United States. Built along Drake Road in 1851,</p><br>
<p>Built of brick on a stone foundation, the Jefferson Schoolhouse is a single-story building that was built in rectangular shape and covered with a shallow gabled roof. It was expanded circa 1900 by the addition of an ell with an additional room. Having become a two-room school, it was no longer used by all eight grades of students together: grades one through four met in one room, and grades five through eight in the other. As the area continued to grow, the two rooms again became too small, and another addition was constructed in 1926 that again doubled the building&#39;s size. Despite this expansion, the 1940s saw the old Jefferson Schoolhouse become superfluous for educational purposes; as a result, it was closed and converted into a community center for the area.</p><br>
<p>After some years as the Armstrong Community Building, the former Jefferson Schoolhouse was purchased by the Armstrong Chapel United Methodist Church, whose original church building lies across Drake Road from the school. In 1976, the old school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one year after Armstrong Chapel received a similar distinction. It qualified for inclusion on the Register both because of its significant place in local history and because of its well-preserved historic architecture. The school is one of five Indian Hill locations on the Register, along with Armstrong Chapel, the Elliott House, the Gordon E. Pape House, and the Washington Heights School.</p><br>
<p>The Jehu John House was a historic house and school building in the far southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located in the city of Harrison near Cincinnati, it was one of the area&#39;s earlier buildings and home to one of its most prominent residents. Although it was named a historic site in the 1970s, it has been removed.</p><br>
<p>Born in 1796, Jehu John, Jr was an early physician in Hamilton County who made himself rich by producing and selling a medicine for fevers, which became highly popular. With his finances assured, he abandoned the practice of medicine and devoted himself to education, opening a school in his house in late 1847. The house was built on land belonging to the family of Ohio Governor Othniel Looker, whose granddaughter Emily had married Jehu John in 1828.</p><br>
<p>Built in a combination of brick and stone with a tin roof, the John House was a simple one-and-a-half-story house with narrow gabled ends and a wide front; no windows were placed on the ends, while the front featured a doorway with two windows on each side. The basic floor plan was that of the letter "T", with the long end to the rear.</p><br>
<p>One of southwestern Ohio&#39;s best stone residences from the settlement period, the Jehu John House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in late 1975; it qualified both because of its connection to John and because of its important architecture. Despite this designation, the house no longer occupies its location on Stone Drive; a newer building has taken its place.</p><br>
<p>The Kellogg House is a historic building in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1835, The weatherboarded walls rest on a stone foundation and are covered by a metal roof, which rises to a high gable on each end. The buildings architecture is a mix of the Federal style with many vernacular elements; it has been recognized as one of the areas best examples of transitional architecture. Some of the distinctive features of the Kellogg Building are the small brackets that support the simple cornice, two wings attached to the rear, and the two enclosed porches on the facade. Inside, the main hallway is ornamented by such features as intricate fretwork and multiple pillars. Main hallway is also occupied by the homes original pipe organ.</p><br>
<p>Historically, the Kellogg House was operated as a hotel; it was erected by Samuel Knicely in 1835 and given to a Mr. Kellogg seven years later as a wedding gift. From that time until 1977, it remained in the Kellogg family, although by the late 1970s it had been converted into apartments. In 1979, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its historically significant architecture. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to a historic preservation survey in the previous year; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included.</p><br>
<p>The Kestler Building was one of many historic buildings in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Originally a store, it was a weatherboarded building set on a stone foundation. Along with many other buildings in the neighborhood, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 1979, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture; like several other Eastern Avenue commercial buildings, it was deemed historic partially because of its exterior design work.</p><br>
<p>The Josiah Kirby House is a historic residence in the city of Wyoming, Ohio, United States. Erected in the late nineteenth century, it was originally the home of a prominent Cincinnati-area businessman and politician, and it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Josiah Kirby</h2><br>
<p>Josiah Kirby was one of the Cincinnati metropolitan area&#39;s leading industrialists in the late nineteenth century. Having invented multiple kinds of heavy machinery, he held high executive positions with two different railroad companies and served a term as the president of the Cincinnati Board of Trade. These prominent positions led him to become involved in politics; he was elected to the Ohio Senate, where he served from 1880 to 1881.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>Good transportation is a leading reason for Wyoming&#39;s prosperity. The city lies near the old pre-statehood road that connected Cincinnati with locations farther north, such as Fort Hamilton and Fallen Timbers. Curves in the road were cut off in 1806, forming a new road that is today followed by Springfield Pike through central Wyoming. Improvements in the 1830s only enhanced its importance. By this time, another mode of transportation had become significant: the Miami and Erie Canal was built a short distance to the east in 1828, and the village of Lockland grew up along its side. Railroads reached the city in 1851 with the construction of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad on the border between Lockland and Wyoming.</p><br>
<p>Because of Wyoming&#39;s proximity to the industry of Lockland, its easy transportation to the booming city of Cincinnati, and its pleasant scenery, many wealthy industrialists purchased local farms and built grand country houses. Most such houses were built in the Wyoming Hills area, west of Springfield Pike; growth in this area continued until the coming of the Great Depression. Kirby was typical of these rich industrialists, building a large house and commuting to Cincinnati daily.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Kirby&#39;s Wyoming house was built in 1890 in a Shingle-style variant of the Queen Anne style of architecture. it is a frame building, two-and-a-half stories tall. Among its notable elements are various Neoclassical details, windows of high-quality art glass, and a verandah with columns in the Beaux-Arts style. Overall, the house is a mix of styles, mingling older styles with the latest in floor plans.</p><br>
<p>Weatherboarding was a typical exterior for large Wyoming houses: brick was far more common in most of southwestern Ohio, but the importance of lumber mills in Lockland and the fact that many mill owners lived in Wyoming caused wood to become the exterior of choice for most houses in Wyoming and the nearby communities of Hartwell and Glendale. Also common to many of the area&#39;s houses was the presence of art glass, which many residences feature in large parlor windows.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>Since Kirby ceased to live in the house, it has seen very few changes: both the interior and exterior are remarkably similar to their original condition.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, a local historic preservation group began a citywide survey to identify Wyoming&#39;s historic buildings, and this effort culminated with a multiple property submission of eighteen houses, the Wyoming Presbyterian Church, and one historic district to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Along with all but one of the other properties, the Josiah Kirby House was listed on the Register in the following year, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture and its place as the home of a leading local citizen.</p><br>
<p>Krippendorf-Dittman Company is a registered historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on March 3, 1980.</p><br>
<p>Formerly the Krippendorf-Dittman Shoe Company factory, the building has been converted to Sycamore Place luxury loft apartments. The street level retail space presently holds the Sycamore Gallery art collection of University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning.</p><br>
<p>The Theodore Krumberg Building is a historic commercial building and former bank in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in the Italianate style in 1871,</p><br>
<p>Theodore Krumberg erected the present building in the early 1870s as a home for his dry goods store; part of the building was employed for retailing purposes, while other parts served as a warehouse for his business. Krumberg chose many elaborate elements for his building: the walls are built of brick, but many significant elements are made of smooth sandstone, such as the lintels, an ornate cornice, and bracketed lug sills. Additionally, certain details are made of marble or iron. Measuring four stories tall, the Krumberg Building features a massive facade many bays wide; throughout its exterior, the Italianate style is evident.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Theodore Krumberg Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for inclusion because of its historically significant architecture. One year later, most of Over-the-Rhine was added to the Register as a historic district, and the Krumberg Building qualified as one of its hundreds of contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>The Landt Building is a historic house in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed at the end of the nineteenth century, it has been named one of the neighborhood&#39;s numerous historic sites.</p><br>
<p>Erected in 1895, Both the front and the sides feature overhangs, but the facade is markedly different from the other sides in its level of ornamentation. Placed on the side is a simple box-shaped structure on the second story only, while two curved section, resembling shallow bay windows, project from the middle of the facade and rise from the ground to the roof. Each is pierced by three windows on each story, and the walls of the projections are partly covered with roofing shingles. Two main entrances are placed in the facade, one on each corner. The cornice is distinguished by a bed-mould of prominent dentils, architectural styling from a different period; the house is unusual for its mix of details from the Georgian style with components from the far later styles current in the 1890s. Although originally built as a single-family residence, the Landt Building has since been converted into apartments.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the Landt Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its well-preserved unusual historic architecture. It was part of a group of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties added to the Register together as a multiple property submission; among the other members of the group were the Spencer Township Hall, the Kellogg House, and the Bates Building, all of which are located in the same block of Eastern Avenue as the Landt Building.</p><br>
<p>Laurel Homes Historic District is a registered historic district in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register of Historic Places on May 19, 1987. It contained 29 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>All but three of the historic low-income public housing projects was razed between 2000–02 to make way for new condominiums.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Laurel Homes was established in 1938 with 1303 units of low income housing. An adjacent property of 1015 units, Lincoln Court, opened in 1942 to black families only. Apartments at Laurel Homes were leased to both white and to lesser degree, black, families, making it nominally one of the first integrated housing projects in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Laurel Homes was the second largest Public Works Administration public housing project in the country.</p><br>
<p>Lillybanks is a historic residence in eastern Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1926,</p><br>
<p>Lillybanks was the residence of Philip and Bessie Swing. Natives of Batavia in Clermont County, Ohio, the Swings were descended from leading lawyers of that community — Philips father, Peter, was a son of Philip Bergen Swing, a judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, and Bessies father Allen Cowan was a local judge — and Philip himself was a lawyer in the Hamilton County courts from 1894 until 1911.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, Lillybanks was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for inclusion because of its historically significant architecture.</p><br>
<p>John Uri Lloyd House is a registered historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on March 7, 1973. Lloyd was an American pharmacist who was a leader in the eclectic medicine movement and influential in the development of pharmacognosy, ethnobotany, economic botany, and herbalism. In 1886, he and his two brothers, also chemists, established a pharmacology business together, named Lloyd Brothers, Pharmacists, Inc. It operated until after the senior Lloyd&#39;s death, when it was bought in 1938 by S.B. Penick.</p><br>
<p>From their earnings, in 1919 the brothers established a trust fund for the Lloyd Library and Museum, originally based on John Lloyd&#39;s personal collection related to medical botany, eclectic medicine and pharmacy. It is also located in Cincinnati.</p><br>
<p>Lloyd purchased the house in 1909 from Cincinnati coal magnate Solomon P. Kineon, who lived there from 1885 to 1908. It had been built for Kineon in 1879, designed by architect James W. McLaughlin. The Richardsonian Romanesque design features broken range Ashler masonry, a ten-windowed turret, and a Diocletian window.</p><br>
<p>After Lloyd&#39;s death, the house passed to Walter and Margie Preston in 1938. In 1957 the house was purchased by its next owners, John and Billye Bierhorst, and in the 1960s sold to their son-in-law, Monroe Sher and daughter, Ellen Bierhorst (Sher), who is responsible for the historic register listing and naming the house after John Uri Lloyd.</p><br>
<h2>Historic uses</h2><br>
<p>The Lloyd House has had several uses. In addition to being used as a single dwelling by each of the owners, both Margie Preston and Ellen Bierhorst rented rooms in the house at different points in time. The house has more recently been used as a healing center featuring Dr. Bierhorst&#39;s private practice. In the early 1960s and late 1970s, the Lloyd House was also the headquarters of The Independent Eye, an underground newspaper.</p><br>
<p>The Lombardy Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Victorian structure erected in 1885, built with brick walls and a stone foundation. Constructed by the firm of Thomas Emerys Sons, Cincinnatis leading real estate developers during the 1880s, it was one of the earliest large apartment buildings erected in the city. It is one of four large apartment complexes erected by the Emerys during the 1880s; only the Brittany and the Lombardy Apartment Buildings have endured to the present day. Both the Lombardy and the Brittany were built in 1885 according to designs by Samuel Hannaford; at that time, his independent architectural practice was gaining great prominence in the Cincinnati metropolitan area.</p><br>
<p>Among the distinctive elements of the Lombardy&#39;s architecture are plentiful pilasters with Corinthian-style capitals, an elaborate cornice and brackets, and multiple balconies of wrought iron. Although the walls are primarily brick, they are decorated with elements of sandstone, along with limestone details and projections.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the Lombardy Apartment Building and many surrounding buildings were designated a historic district, the West Fourth Street Historic District, and added to the National Register of Historic Places. Four years later, the Lombardy was individually listed on the Register, due to its well-preserved historic architecture; it was seen as one of the region&#39;s finest examples of late 19th century urban Victorian architecture. Dozens of other properties in Cincinnati, including the Brittany Apartment Building, were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford.</p><br>
<p>Othniel Looker House is a historic house located at 10580 Marvin Road in Harrison, Ohio. Othniel Looker was briefly the fifth Governor of Ohio.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Harrison was settled in the early 1800s. Most who came were veterans of the Revolutionary War who had received land grants for their service. Among them was Othniel Looker who bought this property and with his two eldest sons cleared the land and erected the wood house. The remainder of his family then followed. The family lived in the home until the death of Looker&#39;s wife.</p><br>
<p>The house is a two-story wood frame building with a shake gable roof. The main facade is symmetrical with two doors and three windows alternating. The three central bays are subtly grouped with the end windows slightly set outward. The second floor has the same five bay pattern and grouping, each bay containing a six over six double hung sash window. The lower story windows are the same. The paneled doors are topped by matched four light transoms. The rear of the building has two batten doors and four windows.

The four room interior retains original features including hand scraped chair rails, baseboards and molding.</p><br>
<p>The Looker House, significant as symbol of an import part of Ohio history, is one of the oldest extant structures in the Harrison area. It was originally located in a south facing position on Harrison Pike. The building was scheduled for demolition in 1962 when the Village Historical Society had the building completely dismantled, moved to its current location and reassembled under architectural supervision. The move did not alter the building in any significant way. It was listed in the National Register on June 5, 1975. The Othniel Looker House has been restored to a historically appropriate state and the society currently operates the facility as a museum.</p><br>
<p>Lower Price Hill Historic District is a registered historic district in Price Hill, Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on November 15, 1988. It is roughly bounded by West Eighth Street, State Street, Burns Street, and English Street. It is located just across the railroad tracks to the west of downtown Cincinnati. This region contains 196 contributing buildings, including single and multiple dwellings, as well as a few businesses. Lower Price Hill is served by the Lower Price Hill Community School.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 19th century the Mill Creek Valley, west of downtown, was an important transportation and industrial region. The houses of Lower Price Hill were built to house the people who worked in this area. At the time, the region was not thought of as a part of Price Hill; however it became identified with Price Hill in the 20th century. Many of the homes date from the 1850s. The West End Bank and Trust building, built in 1914, stands at the intersection of Eighth and State streets.</p><br>
<p>Since the 1990s, Lower Price Hill has seen an influx of Hispanic residents, particularly from Guatemala. The population of Lower Price Hill was 1,070 at the 2020 census.</p><br>
<p>The Luethstrom–Hurin House is a historic residence in the city of Wyoming, Ohio, United States. Erected in the 1860s and profoundly modified before 1875, it was the home of two prominent businessmen in the local grain and flour industry, and it has been designated a historic site because of its architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Luethstrom–Hurin House is a weatherboarded structure with a stone foundation and slate roof. The tower protrudes from one side of the two-story facade (on the right as one views the house from a distance), while a bay window protrudes farther from the tower, and a single-story porch shelters the entrance and the remaining parts of the facade. Bracketing supports the overhanging cornice above the second-story windows.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>

The original owner of the house, a Mr. Luethstrom, was a typical city resident; he was a partner in the firm of Luethstrom and Russell, which sold grain and flour. The second resident, James Hurin, arrived with his family in 1874. As the president of Cincinnatis West End Flour Mills, he was involved in the same business as Luethstrom.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, a local historic preservation group began a citywide survey to identify Wyoming&#39;s historic buildings, and this effort culminated with a multiple property submission of eighteen houses, the Wyoming Presbyterian Church, and one historic district to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Along with all but one of the other properties, the Luethstrom–Hurin House was listed on the Register in the following year, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of five Reily Road houses included in this group, along with the Charles Fay House, the John C. Pollock House, the Louis Sawyer House, and the William Stearns House.</p><br>
<p>The LuNeack House is a historic residence in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1894,</p><br>
<p>Architecturally, the most distinctive portion of the LuNeack House is the large porch, which is attached to the southward-facing front of the house. Many ornamental elements compose its walls and railings, such as spindles and a balustrade; moreover, the porch-facing windows feature prominent lintels. Additionally, the gables that rise to the roof are the locations of other details, such as imbricated shingles, circular windows, and elaborately carven bargeboards.</p><br>
<p>Taken together, the various components of the LuNeack House form a well-preserved example of the Victorian style of architecture. Because the house has seen so few modifications since its original construction, it is architecturally distinctive; in 1978, a historic preservation survey of Columbia-Tusculum called it "outstanding" among the areas wooden Victorian residences. One year later, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its historically significant architecture. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to the previous years historic preservation survey; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Lunkenheimer House is a historic residence on the east side of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1883,</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s namesake was a manufacturing innovator and entrepreneur; his firm, the Lunkenheimer Valve Company, gained a worldwide reputation for the steam valves and other mechanical elements that it produced. As the founder, Frederick Lunkenheimer was responsible for a wide range of specialized products in the field.</p><br>
<p>In 1985, the Lunkenheimer House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its distinctive historic architecture and because of its place as the home of a leading local citizen. Today, it is no longer a house, having been converted into offices for the Pension Corporation of America, and the Alliance Benefit Group.</p><br>
<p>The Mardot Antique Shop was a historic commercial building in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1889,</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the Mardot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its historically significant architecture, which was deemed to be in excellent condition. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to a historic preservation survey conducted in the previous year; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included. Despite this distinction, the Mardot Antique Shop has been demolished; the site is now an empty lot.</p><br>
<p>The Madisonville site is a prehistoric archaeological site near Mariemont, Ohio, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 1974 as the "Mariemont Embankment and Village Site".</p><br>
<p>Madisonville is the type site for the Madisonville phase of Fort Ancient pottery. The 5-acre site is located on a bluff above the Little Miami River about 5 miles upstream from the Ohio River. While occupied over hundreds of years, it was settled most intensively in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and is the most excavated Fort Ancient site of this time period. Early twentieth-century excavations were carried out by staff of the Peabody Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>Since 1990, the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History has done additional studies, with findings increased by the use of current technology and professional practices. The village site was found to have had two or more small plazas, rather than just one central site, as seen at the earlier SunWatch Indian Village.</p><br>
<p>This is believed to be the only Fort Ancient site whose people consumed bison as part of the game hunted to supplement their diet of maize. They may have hunted the animals in areas to the west of this site. Elk and deer were also valuable for their meat. The people also processed their bones, tendons and hides to make tools, musical instruments, clothing, and ornaments.</p><br>
<p>Researchers found a large amount of goods of non-local materials and design, indicating the villagers were connected to a large exchange network. Items were identified as from the St. Lawrence River region, on the New York and Canadian border, eastern present-day Iowa, and northern Alabama, as well as Tennessee. The size and limited range of European goods indicated they came from an indirect network at this time, rather than in direct trading. People at Madisonville made distinctive snake-shaped ornaments, which have been found at other sites as distant as Iroquois settlements in Ontario, Canada and western present-day New York.</p><br>
<p>The Mariemont Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing most of the municipality of Mariemont, Ohio, USA. Mariemont was planned and developed in the 1920s by philanthropist Mary Emery and landscape architect John Nolen, and was one of the nation&#39;s first planned suburban communities. Its architecture and streetscape are still strongly evocative of its original plans. A large portion of the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979; a larger area  was designated a National Historic Landmark  in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Mariemont is a village located about 10 mi east of downtown Cincinnati in Hamilton County, on United States Route 50 (aka Wooster Pike), which serves as the principal route through the community. The village occupies an area on the north bank of the Little Miami River that is roughly rectangular with protrusions to the north, east and southwest. The bulk of the village is residential, with multifamily housing predominant north of Wooster Pike, and single-family housing to its south. Most of the housing is on winding lanes in a parklike setting; some of it is in a rectilinear grid pattern. Industry is restricted to the southwestern protrusion, known as Westover, which extends between Wooster Pike and a railroad right-of-way on the riverbank. Commercial and retail activity is mainly located on Wooster Pike, with a smaller area at Oak and Chestnut Streets. Architecturally, the village resembles an English country village, with large amounts of Tudor Revival architecture, and a stone English country church.</p><br>
<p>The village has several large parks. Dogwood Park is on the west side of the village, which houses the memorial carillon, offering concerts on Sundays throughout the summer months. Miami Bluff Drive provides good views over the river, and Mariemont Gardens is an area in the floodplain below the bluff which was used historically as farmland when not flooded. Located on the embankment below the drive is the Madisonville site, a prehistoric Native American site that attracted early American settlers to the area. The village square serves as the community center with red brick Tudor buildings, including the Mariemont Inn and historical Mariemont Barber Shop. Mariemont also has one of the few elected Town Criers remaining in North America.</p><br>
<p>Mariemont was the brainchild of Mary Emery, a philanthropist seeking to alleviate housing shortages and poor housing conditions after World War I. Working with Charles Livingood, she retained landscape architect John Nolen to draft a comprehensive plan for the village, in which the location and nature of a great deal of its infrastructure was specified. The plan was accepted in 1921, and development took place mostly over the following decade. The Mariemont Company, formed and managed by Emery and Livingood, oversaw the development until 1931, when it was formally dissolved and most of its tangible assets were turned over to the community. The company hired architects from major eastern cities to design buildings of all types in the village.</p><br>
<p>In the decades following the villages creation, development has continued, although at a restrained pace. The village has grown by acquisition of land surrounding its original planned area, and portions of Nolens design were either not fully implemented, or have undergone subsequent alteration that is not in keeping with the plan. These are generally small and the alterations are rarely intrusive. When the village was surveyed for National Historic Landmark designation in the early 2000s, the only areas of the village that were omitted from the landmarked area were the hospital and high school areas in the east, and small areas north of the historic bounds.the high school&#39;s design reflected some rather radical architectural and educational ideas not in keeping with the traditional architecture of the village.</p><br>
<h2>Architects</h2><br>
<p>Architects who did work in Mariemont include Louis E. Jallade, Robert Rodes McGoodwin, Jack E. Hodell, and Ripley and LeBoutillier.</p><br>
<p>The Martin House is a historic residence in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1847, Between the two components, it features elements of the Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles. Built of brick, two stories tall, it was originally a farmhouse belonging to John C. Martin, who built his home on property owned by his father-in-law Ezekiel Rigdon, who owned nearly 100 acre of land on Mount Washington near the farm of one of the area&#39;s first settlers.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the Martin House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, because of its status as a well-preserved example of the area&#39;s architecture. By this point, the house was owned by a religious organization and was also known as the "Heritage House;" it received national recognition because it had almost never been altered after the construction of the front component, and few other houses in the area built at a similar time retained so many of their original components.</p><br>
<p>The Mathew Mound (designated 33-HA-122</p><br>
<p>For many years, local legend held that the mound was the burial site of a historic Native American known as "Opekasit&quot the legend lent itself to the milk-processing operation run by the mound&#39;s owners, which was known for many years as the Opekasit Dairy. The mound is 4.5 ft high with a diameter of slightly more than 60 ft. Having never been excavated, it is a prime example of a burial mound from the Woodland period. Based on the excavation of similar mounds, it is expected that the Mathew Mound contains evidence of funerary practices such as grave goods and the remains of buried bodies. It is one of two archaeological sites in the vicinity: the other, a small campsite designated 33-HA-125, is a small fraction of a mile west of the mound, but excavation yielded nothing significant. Because the mound is a potentially valuable archaeological site, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The David and Mary May House is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Designed in the Italian Renaissance style of architecture, the house is a three-story structure constructed of Indiana limestone, although themes of French Renaissance architecture can also be seen in its design. The foundation is also stone, while the roof is covered with rows of terracotta tiles. Surrounded by trees, the house is covered by a hip roof that is pierced by multiple dormer windows. Some of the elements evoke a sense of the Beaux-Arts style, including the house&#39;s carefully designed symmetry, its decorative columns, urns, and swags, and the small wings on both sides of the central main portion of the house. Occupying a corner lot, the house is placed to face the corner; as such, its rear is substantially less formal than the street-facing front.</p><br>
<p>Since the 1930s, the 11 acre property has featured a brick driveway and a pillared gateway, decorated with an arch of wrought iron. Besides the house itself, the property consists of extensive gardens, including flowerbeds and a sunken garden, located together in the neighborhood of North Avondale.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, the May House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its place in local history. Besides the main house, an additional building and a related site were included in the historic designation. An early formal garden and a detached garage, complete with living space for the chauffeur, remain in existence behind the house itself.</p><br>
<p>The S. C. Mayer House is a historic house in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the late 1880s, it has been recognized because of its mix of major architectural styles and its monolithic stone walls. Built by a leading local architect, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Set on a stone foundation, the house is built of brick and sandstone with an asbestos roof and elements of iron. The sandstone is among the houses most distinctive components, being used to cover the facade, while the ironwork includes elements such as balustrades of wrought iron around the first-story windows and the cast iron used to create the main stairway to the house. The stairway is necessary for entry because of the houses elevated design: although it stands three stories tall, the first story is elevated high above the ground, and the basement is raised high enough that it can be entered from the street. Topping the building is a steep mansard roof featuring a trio of dormer windows, which are significant contributors to the houses general plan: like the sandstone facade, the roof and windows together are a critical component of the houses appearance, and the windows help to define the facades three bays. Although the houses overall style is clearly Second Empire, the first and second story possess obvious Italianate influences.</p><br>
<p>Constructed in 1889, the Mayer House was the work of Samuel Hannaford, one of Cincinnatis premier architects. At the time, he was near the peak of his prestige: he had become prominent in the late 1870s as the architect for the citys grand new Music Hall, and for ten years he sustained an architectural practice without partners. Having passed his fiftieth birthday, he made two of his sons partners in 1887, but he remained active for another ten years before retiring. Hannaford routinely produced buildings in many different styles, with most of his residences in the late 1880s and early 1890s being either in the Romanesque Revival style or examples of eclecticism, merging components of two or more established styles. The majority of Hannaford&#39;s surviving residences in metropolitan Cincinnati, including several built in the early 1890s, featured facades dominated by large areas of ashlar stonework, comparable to the slightly older Mayer House.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the S. C. Mayer House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. Three years later, nearly all of Over-the-Rhine was listed on the National Register as a historic district, and the Mayer House was one of nearly 1,000 neighborhood buildings designated as contributing properties to the district.</p><br>
<p>The John Wesley McElroy House is a historic house museum in Burnsville, Yancey County, North Carolina. The vernacular Federal-Greek Revival style house, which was built in the 1840s, is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 3,000 ft&sup2; house was built by John Wesley McElroy as a mansion for his wife, Catherine. McElroy was a local businessman and lawyer, and a brigadier general in the Confederate Army. During the war, the house was used as a hospital and the headquarters for the home guard. In 1889 the house was purchased by William Moore, a state senator and former captain in the Union Army. Moore&#39;s family lived in the house until 1917 and it became the first Post Office in Burnsville. During the 1970s the house was abandoned and fell into disrepair.</p><br>
<p>The house was purchased in 1987 by the Yancey History Association. The Association restored the building, which was opened as the Rush Wray Museum of Yancey County History in 2003. The museum houses period furniture and exhibits on local history.</p><br>
<p>Mecklenburg Gardens is a historic restaurant in the Corryville neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Its Italianate building, perhaps constructed as a house, was built circa 1865, but it was converted into a restaurant by 1870. In its earliest years as a restaurant, it was run by John Neeb, who sold it to one of his employees in 1886. The new owner, Louis Mecklenburg, changed the name from "Mount Auburn Garden Restaurant" to "Mecklenburg Gardens," and converted it from a saloon to a heavily German beer garden. During this time, Cincinnati was receiving massive numbers of German immigrants; with as much as 25% of the city&#39;s population being German-born, cultural institutions such as beer gardens were extremely popular.</p><br>
<p>As the years passed, Mecklenburgs Garden prospered and expanded to accommodate more diners. Patrons historically made heavy use of the walled outdoor eating area, which was shaded by awnings and featured trellises covered by grapevines. During the 20th century, the Gardens underwent a series of changes. Under Prohibition, the leading element of its income was outlawed, but it continued to operate covertly as a speakeasy as well as a legal restaurant: patrons knew whether they could safely purchase alcohol based on the position of a ship model on a counter. During the 1970s, the building underwent a structural restoration, around the time that it was owned by an ashram that, according to legend, made a failed attempt to convert the restaurants kitchen staff.</p><br>
<p>Although the restaurant closed multiple times during the late twentieth century, it reopened in 1996, and has continued in operation until the present time. In recognition of its place in local history, Mecklenburg Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The building housing the restaurant is a rectangular structure, built of brick on a stone foundation. Besides the historic outdoor garden, the interior features several small dining rooms and a central pub area to accommodate patrons.</p><br>
<p>The Charles A. Miller House is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1890 according to a design by Samuel Hannaford, A brick and limestone structure with a slate roof, its facade is dominated by courses of ashlar, plus battlements at the top, The floor plan is that of a rectangle, two bays wide and four bays deep; the right portion of the building features a gable, while the battlements appear primarily on the left side. Structurally, the house is supported by a post and lintel construction, with the exterior courses of stones forming the lintels as well as horizontal bands around the building.</p><br>
<h2>Charles Miller</h2><br>
<p>Born in Portageville, New York in 1842, Charles Miller moved to Cincinnati and began an undertaking business there in 1866 after his service in the Union Army. By the last years of the 19th century, he had become prosperous enough to build the present house, which was constructed in 1890. He remained in business into the 20th century; in 1904, a city directory called him Cincinnati&#39;s oldest living funeral director.</p><br>
<p>Miller chose a prestigious architect to design his house: the firm of Samuel Hannaford. A native of England, Hannaford began a Cincinnati architectural practice in the late 1850s; by the end of the 19th century, he had developed a strong reputation for his designs for the city&#39;s social and political leaders, due largely to his attention to detail and his willingness to design buildings in a wide range of architectural styles. Four other Hannaford-designed houses built in Cincinnati between 1890 and 1892 are still standing; like the Miller house, all of them feature courses of ashlar on the facade, as do several Hannaford houses built at other times. Several of these early 1890s houses are built in an eclectic architectural style; among them is the Miller House, which features an eclectic form of the Victorian style.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, the Charles A. Miller House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it qualified for inclusion due to its well-preserved historic architecture. Nearly 40 other properties in Cincinnati and other parts of Hamilton County, including 14 other houses, were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford and/or his sons. The Miller House is significantly newer than some of the houses included in this group, for the oldest of Hannaford&#39;s residential designs in the city was constructed in 1862.</p><br>
<p>The Miller–Leuser Log House is a historic eighteenth-century log cabin near the city of Cincinnati in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. One of the oldest houses in the area, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>When Columbia was founded in 1788 as Hamilton Countys first settlement, the pioneers spread out as far upriver as todays Anderson Township. Land in the township, including the location of the Miller–Leuser House, was surveyed five years later as part of a general survey of the Virginia Military District. In 1796, explorer Nathaniel Massie purchased the site of the present house and quickly devised it to Ichabod Miller; he is believed to have constructed the house by the end of the year, and he retained ownership until selling it in 1836. The cabin remained in residential use until 1971, when it was bought by the Anderson Township Historical Society; as one of the oldest buildings in southwestern Ohio, and as a typical component of the pioneer built environment, locals deemed it a highly significant part of their history.</p><br>
<p>In building his house, Ichabod Miller employed a mix of logs: some were hand-hewn, while others retained their original round shape, and all are notched to enable them to fit together at the corners. The entire building is one and one half stories tall.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the Miller–Leuser Log House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of more than three hundred such locations in Hamilton County. It qualified for inclusion primarily because of its architecture, rather than because of its place in local history. The house is one of twelve National Register locations in Anderson Township, along with one house in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, three sites in the village of Newtown, and seven other places in the unincorporated portions of the township.</p><br>
<p>Mills&#39; Row is historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The large brick building has a rectangular base plan. Located in Lot Number 1 of Joseph Mills&#39; subdivision it is thought he designed and built it. This row house with its mansard roofs and center tower asymmetrically placed is an excellent example of Second Empire architecture in a multi-family building, rare in Cincinnati. The address is 2201–9 Park Avenue. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 29, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Richard H. Mitchell House is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built of stone throughout, this large house was designed by prominent Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford. Converted into a school, the house has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Robert Mitchell was born in Ireland and immigrated to the United States in 1824. After founding a furniture company in Cincinnati in 1836, he built his business into a prosperous firm, and by the 1890s, he was wealthy enough to build the present house as a gift for his son Richard. Constructed in 1892, the house was home to the Mitchell family for forty years. When the family left, the building was acquired by St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, which converted it into premises for the parish school. The parish remained in the former house into the 1970s. Since that time, the Mitchell House has become the location of a different school,.</p><br>
<p>Richard Mitchell employed Samuel Hannaford as the architect for the house. He was willing to employ numerous architectural styles, producing buildings in such styles as the Romanesque Revival, the Queen Anne, and the Neo-Renaissance. Other Hannaford structures combined elements of different styles in an eclectic manner, including the Mitchell House. Mitchell&#39;s residence was one of his later works, built just five years before the end of his decades-long career.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Two and a half stories tall, the Mitchell House is built of stone throughout, with large ashlar blocks employed for the walls. Limestone walls rest on a stone foundation, and the roof is slate. Among the leading components of the design are a prominent porch and turret, located at the center of the facade and on one corner of the facade respectively. Although the dormer-pierced turret roof rises to a conical peak, other parts of the house are capped by gabled roofs; the gables themselves form a leading component of the design. Below one of the gables, the porch is distinguished by grand arches and a stone balustrade surrounding the roof.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, the Richard H. Mitchell House was among dozens of Hannaford-designed buildings in Hamilton County listed together on the National Register of Historic Places as a multiple property submission. Like most of the other buildings in the group, the Mitchell House qualified for the Register because of its well-preserved historic architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery Saltbox Houses are a pair of historic saltbox houses in Montgomery, Ohio, United States. Built in 1800,</p><br>
<p>The city of Montgomery was platted along the east-west Cooper Road, but aside from the Saltbox Houses, few historic buildings remain along this street. After Columbus became the state capital, the present Montgomery Road, the old north–south street, became much more heavily travelled, and later development was concentrated along this road. As a result, few other buildings remain from the original plat of the community. In 1987, the houses were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places. They are among five locations in Montgomery that are listed on the Register, along with the Blair House, the Universalist Church Historic District, the Wilder-Swaim House, and the Yost Tavern.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Moore House is a historic residence in the city of Wyoming, Ohio, United States. Built in 1910 and home for a short time to a leading oilman, it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Charles Moore</h2><br>
<p>Owner and president of the Moore Oil Company, Charles H. Moore was one of many wealthy men who lived in Wyoming and commuted to high-placed jobs in Cincinnati&#39;s economy. He only inhabited the house a short time before dying in 1911; following his death, it was sold to Ray and Mary Dollings, who resided on the property until 1937.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>Good transportation is a leading reason for Wyoming&#39;s prosperity. The city lies near the old pre-statehood road that connected Cincinnati with locations farther north, such as Fort Hamilton and Fallen Timbers. Curves in the road were cut off in 1806, forming a new road that is today followed by Springfield Pike through central Wyoming. Improvements in the 1830s only enhanced its importance. By this time, another mode of transportation had become significant: the Miami and Erie Canal was built a short distance to the east in 1828, and the village of Lockland grew up along its side. Railroads reached the city in 1851 with the construction of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad on the border between Lockland and Wyoming.</p><br>
<p>Because of Wyoming&#39;s proximity to the industry of Lockland, its easy transportation to the booming city of Cincinnati, and its pleasant scenery, many wealthy industrialists purchased local farms and built grand country houses. Most such houses were built in the Wyoming Hills area, west of Springfield Pike; growth in this area continued until the coming of the Great Depression.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1910 and designed by an unknown person, the Moore House is a weatherboarded building of two and a half stories resting atop a stone foundation. Brick details the structure, which is topped with a hip roof pierced with dormer windows on multiple sides, covered with slates, and supported with a cornice of brackets. A wrap-around porch with Ionic columns forms much of the facade, sheltering the first floor and providing support to the second. Were the porch removed, an overhang would be present on the right side of the house, as seen from the street. Underneath the porch, the first floor includes a prominent bay window to the right of the main entrance, which sits in the center of the facade. The overall shape of the house makes it typical of the American Foursquare style; this style was common in Wyoming&#39;s Village neighborhood, which was home to residents of more typical income than the wealthy denizens of the Wyoming Hills.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, a local historic preservation group began a citywide survey to identify Wyoming&#39;s historic buildings, and this effort culminated with a multiple property submission of eighteen houses, the Wyoming Presbyterian Church, and one historic district (the Village) to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. As part of this grouping, the Charles H. Moore House was listed on the Register in the following year, qualifying both because of its important architecture and because of its prominent original resident.</p><br>
<p>The Bernard H. Moormann House is a historic residence in eastern Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1860 in the Italianate style,</p><br>
<p>By 1860, Bernard Moormann had established himself as one of Cincinnati&#39;s leading dry goods merchants. Choosing to build a new house in East Walnut Hills, he selected a two-and-a-half-story design built of brick. Except for a small ell on the western side of the rear, it is a simple rectangle in shape. Measuring five bays wide, the south-facing front of the house features such elements such as varied shapes of windows and an archway around the front door, plus ornamented lintels around the second-floor windows. Surrounding the front entrance is a small porch with multiple columns, and sheltering the entire house is a large detailed cornice at the level of the attic.</p><br>
<p>Both before and after Moormanns residence in the house, it experienced few changes: into the late twentieth century, it was one of the best remaining examples of nineteenth-century residential architecture remaining in Cincinnatis more suburban neighborhoods. Because of its place as an example of leading local architecture, the Moormann House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Morrison House is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. One of the area&#39;s first houses designed by master architect Samuel Hannaford, the elaborate brick house was home to the owner of a prominent food-processing firm, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Born in 1838, Thomas Morrison left his native County Antrim in 1860, where he quickly found employment with Morrison and Cardukes, one of Cincinnati&#39;s numerous pork packing firms. After working for the company for nearly forty years, he became the owner in 1897, and under his leadership the company outgrew nearly all of its competitors and became one of the first American meat packing firms to export its products to the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. Morrison was married to the daughter of William Procter, co-founder of Procter & Gamble.</p><br>
<p>One of Samuel Hannafords earlier houses in the Cincinnati metropolitan area, the Morrison House was constructed in 1873 and saw the last details added in 1875; it postdated Hannafords own residence by approximately ten years, but the architect was still comparatively little known when the Morrison House was completed. However, following his Music Hall of Music Hall in the late 1870s, Hannaford became one of Cincinnati&#39;s most prominent architects; by the end of the century, the Morrison House was one of several Hannaford designs in the neighborhood of Clifton, and numerous grand Hannaford houses could be found throughout other wealthy neighborhoods such as Walnut Hills and Avondale.</p><br>
<p>Two and a half stories tall, the Morrison House is a brick building with a slate roof and additional elements of wood and stone. The center of the facade includes a three-story tower projecting forward from the rest of the building, while large dormer windows are placed in the roof on either side of the tower. Each bay of the second and third floors is pierced by a pair of windows, while an elaborate porch fills the first floor of the facade: the sides of the porch are wooden with extensive spindlework, while the center features a large sandstone archway with Corinthian columns. These elements combine to give it an Italianate appearance, although with influence from other styles; this reflects Hannaford&#39;s employment of numerous architectural styles through his career.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, the Morrison House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its architecture. Seven years later, it was included in a multiple property submission of dozens of Hannaford-designed buildings in Hamilton County, one of few in the grouping that were already on the Register.</p><br>
<p>Mt. Healthy Public School is a registered historic building in Mt. Healthy, Ohio, listed in the National Register on May 2, 1985. The building is located at the corner of Compton Rd. and Harrison Ave. It opened in 1911 and was closed by the Mt Healthy City Schools in the 1980s. The building then underwent a series of acquisitions, and is currently used as the Mt. Healthy Preparatory and Fitness Academy.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Nebo Archaeological District is a historic district in the southwestern corner of the USA state of Ohio. Located near North Bend,</p><br>
<p>The southwestern corner of Hamilton County contains many archaeological sites, including nearly fifty in the nearby Shawnee Lookout Archeological District. This part of the state was heavily frequented in the pre-Columbian era because its countryside was highly favorable for human habitation: the Ohio and Miami Rivers provide good transportation; the land is fertile; and abundant food can be found.</p><br>
<p>Mount Nebo has gained a reputation as one of the most valuable archaeological sites in southwestern Ohio. Local amateur archaeologists have frequented the area, as large numbers of artifacts can be found on the surface of the ground. Among the findings are artifacts both of the Archaic and Woodland periods, thousands of years apart from each other. In recognition of its archaeological value, the Mount Nebo Archaeological District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, approximately three months after the district on Shawnee Lookout.</p><br>
<p>The Ninth Street Historic District is a group of historic buildings located along Ninth Street on the northern side of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Composed of buildings constructed between the second quarter of the nineteenth century and the second quarter of the twentieth, it was primarily built between 1840 and 1890, when Cincinnati was experiencing its greatest period of growth. The district embraces the blocks of Ninth Street between Plum and Vine Streets, which includes forty-four buildings that contribute to the district&#39;s historic nature.</p><br>
<p>Few Cincinnati streets retain such a cohesive collection of nineteenth-century architecture as do these three blocks of Ninth Street. Although the buildings were erected over a span of more than a century, they are remarkably similar in their construction: examples of the Queen Anne, Italianate, and Greek Revival styles of architecture are found in the district. Throughout the years that the district was constructed, Cincinnati was a city of pedestrians, and the diversity of the districts buildings highlight this status: within the districts boundaries can be found shops, houses, apartment buildings, and other commercial structures. Among the most important buildings in the district are the Abraham J. Friedlander House, the Brittany and Saxony Apartment Buildings, and the Phoenix Club, all of which were listed on the National Register of Historic Places between May 1979 and March 1980. Eighth months after the last of these four buildings was added to the National Register, the district itself was accorded a similar distinction.</p><br>
<p>The Northside United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1890s for a congregation more than sixty years old, the building has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>The first Methodist Episcopal class in the Northside vicinity formed in the early nineteenth century, and their first building they completed in 1833. Finished in 1892, the present building is the congregations third; although a second church replaced the pioneer structure, it was destroyed by fire in 1888. After the decision was made to rebuild, the pastor arranged for the architectural services of Samuel Hannaford. At the time, Hannaford was Cincinnatis leading architect, due to his responsibility for the grand Cincinnati Music Hall near downtown. He had further developed his reputation through frequent work with the city&#39;s economic and political leaders, producing numerous grand houses in fashionable neighborhoods such as Walnut Hills and Avondale. A Methodist himself, Hannaford was an active member of the Winton Place congregation, and he had designed buildings for the German Methodist Church in Over-the-Rhine as well as for his own church.</p><br>
<p>Like many other stone Hannaford churches, the Northside Methodist Church is built with rough-faced stone walls. Gothic Revival windows are set throughout the building, which is distinguished by a massive gable-topped section at one end of its irregular floor plan. At one side of the facade rises a tower, within which the main entrance is set. Elements of limestone form the voussoirs around the Gothic Revival arches of the doorway, which frame wrought iron-supported doors and a transom of art glass. The whole building is one and one-half stories tall, although the belfry atop the tower sits above three separate stories. Set upon a stone foundation, the building is topped with a slate roof. The whole structure measures approximately 60 x.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. By this time a part of the United Methodist Church, it was one of more than fifty Hannaford-designed buildings listed together as a multiple property submission because of their connection to Hannaford. Among the other buildings in the multiple property submission was the Charles A. Miller House, located two blocks to the west in the same street. No longer a house of worship, it has been divided into a recording studio and a residential section.</p><br>
<p>The Norwell Residence is a historic house in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Victorian building constructed in 1890,</p><br>
<p>Due to its virtually unchanged architecture, the Norwell Residence was called "outstanding" in a 1978 historic preservation survey that studied the architecture of Columbia-Tusculum. Contributing to its importance is its relationship with surrounding houses: eight other residences in the immediate vicinity were patterned after the Norwell Residence. Because of its architectural significance, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to the previous year&#39;s historic preservation survey; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included.</p><br>
<p>Norwood Mound, also known as “Indian Mound” by locals, is a prehistoric Native American earthwork mound located in Norwood, Ohio, United States, an enclave city of Cincinnati in Hamilton County, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The mound is an elliptical earthen structure,a burial mound roughly 100 by in diameter and 15.5 ft in height. It is originally believed to have been taller. Located within the City of Norwood&#39;s Water Tower Park at 656 ft above sea level, the mound is the highest land elevation in Norwood and one of the highest elevations in all of southwest Ohio. The size, shape, and location of the mound suggest it was constructed by people of the Adena culture during the Pre-Columbian era. Archaeologists believe the mound was used by the Adenas for religious ceremonies and smoke signaling. An 1895 source describes it as "the only Indian mound now remaining in the vicinity of Cincinnati." There were mounds in Downtown Cincinnati at the time of arrival of the first white settlers.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>There is no evidence that the site has ever been excavated or otherwise destroyed. It is reported that many relics were found in the area by early Norwood settlers in the late 1800s, and these artifacts were the original nucleus of the Native American Art Collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Norwood Heights neighborhood surrounding the mound was constructed in 1869, when it was reported that seventeen villages and towns could be seen from the summit. The site was deeded to the Village of Norwood in 1875 by Norwood settler, S. H. Parvin, prior to the incorporation of the village.</p><br>
<p>The Norwood Municipal Building, also known as Norwood City Hall, is a historic government building at 4645 Montgomery Road in Norwood, Ohio. The building was constructed in 1914-16 on the site of Norwoods first city hall, which was built in 1881. Cincinnati-based architecture firm Weber, Werner & Adkins designed the building in the Second Renaissance Revival style. The building has a gray brick exterior with limestone details; its symmetrical design includes a row of six Ionic columns across the front facade, brick quoins at its corners, a cornice adorned with modillions below the attic, and a tiled hip roof. The buildings interior, which was restored in the 1970s, includes neoclassical elements such as Doric columns and egg-and-dart moldings.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed in the National Register on March 11, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Odd Fellows&#39; Cemetery Mound is a Native American mound in the southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located in the village of Newtown in Hamilton County, It is believed to have been built by the Adena culture.</p><br>
<p>The mound is one of the few remnants of what was once a large complex of prehistoric earthworks and other archaeological sites. While multiple village sites are still in existence around Newtown, including the Perin Village Site just 0.3 mi to the northwest, many of the earthworks have been destroyed. Because of its location in a cemetery, the Odd Fellows Cemetery Mound has been spared destruction; although a few graves have been dug around the mound, there has been no significant damage done as a result. A smaller mound, known as the "Odd Fellows Cemetery Mound 2," is located within the same cemetery; it is only a small fraction of the larger mound&#39;s size. This mound has been damaged by the digging of six graves into its side; however, no artifacts are known to have been found during the interment process.</p><br>
<p>For many years, the Odd Fellows Cemetery Mound has been a landmark in the community. In 1943, a survey of Newtown performed by the Federal Writers Project highlighted it and noted that it was "the only mound distinctly visible" in the vicinity of the village. Thirty years later, the mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its potential to become an archaeological site. Four years later, the nearby Perin Village Site was granted a similar status.</p><br>
<p>Oesterlein Machine Company-Fashion Frocks Inc. Complex is a registered historic building in Camp Washington, Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on October 27, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1918, the complex was originally home to the Oesterlein Machine tool plant. In the 1930s, the Fashion Frocks dress company acquired the property and manufactured women&#39;s clothing. Fashion Frocks also made parachutes during World War II. Currently, the complex is home to the American Sign Museum and loft apartments.</p><br>

<p>The Old College Hill Post Office is a historic former commercial building in the College Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1840s to serve a tiny college town community, it has experienced extensive alterations, but enough of its original qualities remain that it was named a historic site in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Nehemiah Tunis bought land north of Cincinnati from John Cleves Symmes in 1796; although the land was long used for agriculture, a settlement grew up in the 19th century on part of the tract after two colleges were established: the precursor to the Ohio Military Institute, in 1833, and the Ohio Female College, in 1852. Once railroad service and public transportation arrived in the 1850s and 1860s, the community flourished, and it incorporated as "College Hill" in 1866. The community remained independent for approximately fifty years before being annexed into Cincinnati in pieces, beginning in 1911 and concluding in 1923. Numerous civic institutions existed during College Hill&#39;s time as a separate village, including a post office. The post office was actually older than most other improvements, having been built in 1840, while most other civic improvements were constructed after incorporation. It was not the first building to house postal operations in the community, as federal officials formally established the post office in September 1837 under the name of "Pleasant Hill, Ohio". Although it closed in 1838, operations were restored in 1842. Its name was changed to "Careys Academy, Ohio" two weeks after its restoration, and it became "College Hill, Ohio" in 1849. Service was discontinued in August 1892, when it became a station of the Cincinnati post office.</p><br>
<p>When the post office was constructed in 1840, it was a frame single-story structure; this early building has since been expanded, The basic form is that of a rectangle with doors and larger windows on the front, while the side possesses lesser fenestration. Two sections deviate from the basic plan: a rear addition that projects slightly to the side, and a two-story front porch with a door and balcony on the second floor. The walls are weatherboarded, and the building sits on a stone foundation. Into the late twentieth century, the eaves of the building&#39;s flat roof, which projects in front of the house over the front porch, ended in a cornice with bracketing. The old porch featured elaborately worked wooden columns on the first floor and simple posts on the second, while the second floor was guarded with a railing of panels. The post office has not retained its original commercial function, having instead been converted into a single-family residence.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the Old College Hill Post Office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its well-preserved historic architecture; although modified, it is one of College Hill&#39;s oldest buildings. It is one of two buildings from the old village of College Hill to be listed on the National Register, along with the College Hill Town Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Old Gothic Barns were a pair of historic agricultural buildings near the city of Cincinnati in Green Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. Built in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, they were designated a historic site in the 1970s because of their distinctive architecture.</p><br>
<p>As one of Green Township&#39;s first settlers, farmer William Bell was able to amass a large estate; by the 1840s, he owned much land along present-day Colerain Avenue. Near the end of his life, he arranged for the construction of two barns in the Carpenter Gothic style. His choice of architectural style was highly unusual; Gothic Revival elements as found on these two barns are unknown at any other farm in southwestern Ohio. Both were built with an extremely vertical emphasis: a sharply pitched roof increased their height, and the impression of verticality was reinforced by elements such as vertical batten, a cupola with a spire, and the tall pointed windows and doors. These windows and doors, along with other elements such as brackets under the eaves, gave the barns an unusually pure Gothic Revival feel. Two stories tall with an attic, the barns featured shingled roofs.</p><br>
<p>A precise date for the barns construction has been debated. Research has strongly suggested that the barns were constructed before Bells death in 1847, it has been proven that he arranged for their construction, and they were clearly built after 1840 and before 1850, but no other details are known. Despite the lack of detailed information about their construction, the barns were clearly seen as architecturally significant by the 1970s. In 1976, they were recognized by their placement on the National Register of Historic Places; their architecture had been deemed to be important on a statewide level. However, the barns were no longer standing by the early 2010s; restaurants occupied their former location at 6058 Colerain Avenue.</p><br>
