Summary
edit.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This duplex is my favorite wood-frame structure in Cincinnati, mainly due to its high Second Empire-style design, mansard roof, lace-like woodwork on its gingerbread porches, pleasant horizontal banding, and the nicely detailed chimneys. After close and prolonged study of its details, I have come to believe building was originally built in the early-to-mid 19th Century as a single-family Residence, which was a wood frame structure in the vernacular Greek Revival style. However, in the late 19th Century, the building was extended with a front addition, leading to its present appearance, with the original house still visible on the rear of the building. The building was occupied until quite recently, but appears to be currently vacant and open to vandals and vagrants, who have left one of the front doors wide open and threaten the structure with destruction. As one of the best examples of wood-frame Second Empire architecture in the city, this building should be preserved, and it serves as a key historic resource along Queen City Avenue, which recently lost a lot of perfectly good historic structures to the Lick Run Project. I would love to see this building preserved, but I fear that the location, disinvestment, lack of care from the owners, and vandalism of the structure may jeopardize its chances of being preserved. |
