Summary[edit]

Description These buildings on 12th Street in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood date to the late 19th Century and are fine examples of the variation in architectural styles during that period. Located behind the Emery Theatre/Ohio Mechanics' Institute building, these buildings predate that major landmark by a few decades, and likely replaced earlier structures that stood on the site. The building furtherest to the left in the first picture is a fine example of Italianate architecture, and more closely resembles typical Over-the-Rhine buildings than the others. The building next to it is a late Victorian-style brick commercial structure with very rich brick detailing on the parapet, which houses the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition, and is a throwback to the hard times the neighborhood faced in the late 20th Century, with the boarded up third floor and storefront that were secured for safety reasons of the occupants back in the neighborhood's darkest hours. The next building is a little two-story storefront, which has a prominent single arched window on the second floor, appearing similar in style to many other late-19th Century buildings in the city, even though it is on a smaller scale. The next building is an odd one, with small arched windows that have three pieces of stone adorning the top, giving it a unique appearance, which, coupled with its narrow and tall proportions, makes it stand out just for its difference from most buildings in the city in general. It may have originally been an industrial building, but seems to be retail and residential in function today. The final building is at the corner with Walnut, I posted about it before, but it is a late Victorian building that has some Italianate features, which also give it a unique appearance. These buildings are a part of the large collection of eclectic historic architecture that make up Over-the-Rhine, which I will argue is one of the most significant historic districts in the United States simply by its merit of being such a large, intact set of 19th Century buildings.
