<p class="MsoNoSpacing">But I have often wondered about the old farmhouse, on the
park road, just west of the Winton Road entrance, behind Winton Center. So of
course, I just had to dig more into it! Who owned the house before the park was
created?</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Early deed records show transfers from John Cleves Symmes
to Andrew Wilson to Abraham Roll (who also owned a very large parcel just to
the north) to Roll's son-in-law, Robert Preston in 1825. In 1839, Preston sold
to Ogden Ross, whose house appears on the 1847 map. Ross sold just 10 years
later to Johann Heinrich Ferdinand Oberheu, who is listed in the 1850 Census as
living in Cincinnati with no occupation, but worth over $5,000 in real estate.
His sons, Ernst, Frederick, and Louis were successful grocers. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6OLwlZSdQck9mf4qpxr_cmwpeMrfkwoux8ObeR4HSmZP7iZUdOd-EV2tFJViCvqPYTfzq6QeGh5DtKkeH9CUqgSIE86eIUwGWM5NbhoDD0y-L3b0V_09SyPWDfucgw5lojJh9s3W6fM8p7ZKT_JuE_dcVr23ih-d9m-cavvdWULOysO85dJlcRudc2tQ/s534/1847.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="534" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6OLwlZSdQck9mf4qpxr_cmwpeMrfkwoux8ObeR4HSmZP7iZUdOd-EV2tFJViCvqPYTfzq6QeGh5DtKkeH9CUqgSIE86eIUwGWM5NbhoDD0y-L3b0V_09SyPWDfucgw5lojJh9s3W6fM8p7ZKT_JuE_dcVr23ih-d9m-cavvdWULOysO85dJlcRudc2tQ/s320/1847.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1847 Map showing the house of Ogden Ross</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5wscW01q1FVv_f8YjTZKAzRXwoUfMgsfBsDGvcRvRqcO2D0HPzLvwvWqDEazQnsQiUPIEsfmVFrPmM8PaXHhGcxexZs9rw3oGifcXlJ6iwhi_NaXKYO_Cp5um9a_a_3gyCMyQYtUfU8Oyz7Qa-hczQrom_WgsuSV8cPJGa-ZOM6xBcuUkT08UltW3xs/s397/1856%20.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="397" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5wscW01q1FVv_f8YjTZKAzRXwoUfMgsfBsDGvcRvRqcO2D0HPzLvwvWqDEazQnsQiUPIEsfmVFrPmM8PaXHhGcxexZs9rw3oGifcXlJ6iwhi_NaXKYO_Cp5um9a_a_3gyCMyQYtUfU8Oyz7Qa-hczQrom_WgsuSV8cPJGa-ZOM6xBcuUkT08UltW3xs/s320/1856%20.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1856 Map showing the 84.75 acres owned J.

died in 1889, leaving him with three boys, one who also died the same year as
his mother and another in 1899. John married Sophia the following year, and
they had three more sons. They are living together in 1900 and 1910, however,
in the 1920 and 1930 Censuses, Sophia and two of her sons, Maurice and Gilbert,
are living at the family farm in Springfield Township, with the sons listed as
farmers. Sophia died at the farm in 1935, but her obituary listed her as John's
"beloved wife". The same is listed in John's obituary from 1941. They
are buried together at Walnut Hills Cemetery. Very curious!<o:p></o:p></p>

the United States, as part of the huge development that became the Village of
Greenhills, a federal-developed "greenbelt" city. The US bought over
6,000 acres, with about 800 acres being used for the village. The rest was

to Fibonacci Brewing Company, on Compton Road in Mt. Healthy. When a brewery
features amazing beers AND an old house, it’s a perfect match for me! So of
course, I had to do a bit of digging on the history… </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIw7XWbGhcUmIVFdoidgqi1rqLpiSJh8g1uPOQHBJv8dCauQe2NGxxCMB5GCOE6w_S0f_8XFRMYP8a-ErIl00LreTgLTYNfP4UGdptMUJeW20USBHFXhhdP5CJxZgc-1baXdWPwMzV5s8kHXQhe4DTKN-utMRW1GR01ADle5575VrYG8nfv4R2HszCDdE/s3463/2023-08-06%2013.26.16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3463" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIw7XWbGhcUmIVFdoidgqi1rqLpiSJh8g1uPOQHBJv8dCauQe2NGxxCMB5GCOE6w_S0f_8XFRMYP8a-ErIl00LreTgLTYNfP4UGdptMUJeW20USBHFXhhdP5CJxZgc-1baXdWPwMzV5s8kHXQhe4DTKN-utMRW1GR01ADle5575VrYG8nfv4R2HszCDdE/s320/2023-08-06%2013.26.16.jpg" width="279" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p></p>

a mention of the house being completed as part of a lease agreement from 1851. An
8.75-acre parcel of land was purchased from the Hoffner family in 1848 by Jacob
Packer, who divided it in two. Packer sold 4.25 acres to Frederic Rapp in 1849,
and Rapp had a lease with Owen Garretson, which required him to lath and plaster
the house with two coats and skim, to finish the carpenter’s work, paint the
woodwork inside, build a kitchen on the south side of the house 12 feet wide,
1.5 stories, and the same length of the house. Other details were that Rapp
provided the flooring for one of the floors, Garretson provided windows and doors
for the addition, and that he also would build a cistern on the lot to hold 30
barrels of water.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgona8hNg1iXUYHcXbtp95qJV_zAIyYbJNeOTFhUIEYjPqzfPUz5cG0bK6rN-E9WZ2w-0QrlhbCjgi6xK9lpWu-BbzcK-JUAMW9OKgolQgc_-cc7a1wu0J-AVXV3TNUS6oz4F0Q1Aj7fxWKUgAnCl0AJ08-GY_tBpkLdvs359mHpnJ6XZNgcmNbLMWUquQ/s1134/Picture1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="1134" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgona8hNg1iXUYHcXbtp95qJV_zAIyYbJNeOTFhUIEYjPqzfPUz5cG0bK6rN-E9WZ2w-0QrlhbCjgi6xK9lpWu-BbzcK-JUAMW9OKgolQgc_-cc7a1wu0J-AVXV3TNUS6oz4F0Q1Aj7fxWKUgAnCl0AJ08-GY_tBpkLdvs359mHpnJ6XZNgcmNbLMWUquQ/s320/Picture1.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rapp sold the entire property to John Roth in 1854, but I
could not locate him or his family in this area in the 1860 Census. In 1861, it
was sold again to Leonard Fisher, who was a broom maker. His family included
his wife Catherine, daughters Catherine, Angeline, and Mary, and son Daniel.
Leonard was born about 1815 in Alsace, France, and Catherine was born in 1823
in Germany. They married in Cincinnati in 1855. Leonard died in 1896, and
Catherine in 1895, and the property was left to their children. Their daughter
Mary, born in 1860, had married August Dittman in 1897, and they purchased the property
from the remaining siblings in 1901.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

parents Christian and Christiana being the witnesses for Leonard’s will. August
worked in various positions according to the census records, including a
landscape gardener, and a laborer in a veneer works. In 1912, the property was
divided into two parcels, and the south 2.8-acres was sold off, while the
Dittmans kept the north 1.46 acres. Mary and August did not have children, so after
August’s death in 1937, Mary sold the property to George Felss, who unfortunately
died at 38 years old in 1941, leaving his wife Caroline with three children.</span><p></p>

Bald Knob, that thrusts its craggy head like a bleak promontory into the city’s
northwestern skyline, is being torn down! Its lovers’ lane has been destroyed –
men with scythes have cut down the charming sheltered bower. Workmen have laid
axes to the magnificent English elms and buckeyes. The breezy rendezvous on the
very summit – 800 feet above sea level – to which men in the old days lugged
kegs of beer for their parties and where the anti-slavery picnics were held
before the Civil War – will soon be no more.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The lovely hawthorns that bedecked the hillside with
their jolly red haw-apples have been laid low. The last apple and pear trees,
remains of a once famous orchard, will soon be felled. The Indian cave and the delightful,
cool spring on the hillside will be ripped up by the steam shovel. The baseball
diamond there will be torn asunder. The wild-flower gardens on the lovely
slopes, where many a girl picked bouquets; the outlook point, offering a great
panoramic view of the city, where mothers and their families held basket
picnics – all will be dumped into Millcreek to make a fill for the new union
depot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Herancourt Company and of another brewery, built into the foot of the hill over
three-quarters of a century ago – will escape.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rare Beauty of Scene</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Beautiful indeed was this hill and its surroundings,
particularly in the old days when Millcreek flowed by in its pristine purity
and bathed the foot of the little mountainside with its sparkling, crystal-clear
water that abounded with fish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was to this hillside that the Cincinnati pioneer,
Emery Brown, removed from Mt. Auburn in the early history of the city, for he
deemed it the most beautiful spot in the county. It was along this hill that
the Orange family, noted in the pioneer annals of Cincinnati, built their fine
and quaint old mansion that housed a memorable collection of art, including
works of Joshua Reynolds!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was on this hillside that the famous pioneer
horticulturalist, Ernst, an early president of the Ohio State Horticultural Society,
built his home and cultivated his noted orchards and gardens, the vestiges of
which still remain.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihs_jeO2KPryd1nxh_zOR8e-K_1Lpiwn6n6NfnS-0irajcdbjKBsy-mIsQ8uwDCra3Tsu7gXxOHaogNRlstFg_2Ns6Cq9RfNHk8ch8V97pvgiqYZYte3R4KD0_3RNzV6ZHP7AWVtVpfAYKlAwjOvta4WnudFp9YK9VDKw2VBJQsAQ2Mm71OyIHcxHmaUY" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="686" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihs_jeO2KPryd1nxh_zOR8e-K_1Lpiwn6n6NfnS-0irajcdbjKBsy-mIsQ8uwDCra3Tsu7gXxOHaogNRlstFg_2Ns6Cq9RfNHk8ch8V97pvgiqYZYte3R4KD0_3RNzV6ZHP7AWVtVpfAYKlAwjOvta4WnudFp9YK9VDKw2VBJQsAQ2Mm71OyIHcxHmaUY=w400-h352" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Climbing the Hill</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Times-Star scribe and photographer visited Bald Knob
Wednesday, and found the first group of men that started to clear away the
underbrush preparatory to tearing down the hill. Huge shovels and modern
machinery will be installed to remove the 6,000,000 cubic yards of earth into
Millcreek, where they will make a fill for the relocation of tracks in
connection with the new depot project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A crowd of neighbors gathered and it was almost with
tears in their eyes that they saw their beloved hill with its trees being
ruthlessly attached to make way for “modern progress.” A number of men, with
their children, together with a crowd of boys who love the hill with the
devotion that youths give to their playground, formed a part and let the
Times-Star delegation to the top.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiX3E_EwyTrmStF6-USbRHN-8Ksyl8FBv2-pGsz-mmaU-FpashIWcmDfTiQA7jrlzkden6_mb0tR09YFGvibIW35pXN2no7ka7zr9bbE7F86O8c7vpioBg8MKG_tKQyztZqidcAzl1y3n-hr3G6u8PqNMBU6zNdgWRODoHuLOmjhH-6zKm9Tg_TUc_gTuI" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="647" data-original-width="712" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiX3E_EwyTrmStF6-USbRHN-8Ksyl8FBv2-pGsz-mmaU-FpashIWcmDfTiQA7jrlzkden6_mb0tR09YFGvibIW35pXN2no7ka7zr9bbE7F86O8c7vpioBg8MKG_tKQyztZqidcAzl1y3n-hr3G6u8PqNMBU6zNdgWRODoHuLOmjhH-6zKm9Tg_TUc_gTuI=w400-h364" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trees of Great Beauty</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was like climbing a mountain while it lasted – for Bald
Knob has a steep-slope, and at the top presents a very jagged side. The path
began at the foot of the fill between two glorious elm trees – one of these trees
is no doubt among the finest specimens of its kind in the county. Through the
hawthorn bushes, filled with ripening red fruit, the path led up the hill. One
of the workmen had just killed a harmless snake near the path, and the boys
said there were many still rabbits, squirrels and many birds in the thicket.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Along the path were found many pears – they were the
booty of previous expeditions from the pear trees on the hill. All but the boys
were puffing hard when the top of Bald Knob was reached – and from the high
vantage point a beautiful new of the city was offered, a view looking miles to
the basin in the East, as well as toward the valley in the West.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhdL2OWL9g_5iCf3yDxDLJf6aNcThevVQ9Gh4sk5A73gARqnrV9SPWd4u9ApZxdpUlP9ip3NJs4UNAOT64RYKF4vfbOzpdVN4_Oigks5ASOhLfBYUr1c101wEkws3GttNrSHxUTUBl0XCL8RfUp1A0tR3laF5x9d1TtLNPFTOUNuoeeYL30RV761ajrhO0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="687" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhdL2OWL9g_5iCf3yDxDLJf6aNcThevVQ9Gh4sk5A73gARqnrV9SPWd4u9ApZxdpUlP9ip3NJs4UNAOT64RYKF4vfbOzpdVN4_Oigks5ASOhLfBYUr1c101wEkws3GttNrSHxUTUBl0XCL8RfUp1A0tR3laF5x9d1TtLNPFTOUNuoeeYL30RV761ajrhO0=w400-h362" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Among the climbers were J. B. Neider, Harry Ismael, and
his little son Paul, Joe Staehling, August Brinkman, George Baxter, and Charles
Meyer and the boys, John Baumer, Ed Disken, Charles Tungeat, Bob Bunner and Russell
Wolfer. Some of the men told how they played on Bald Knob forty years ago, and
in the old days would carry kegs of beer to the top for a party. The little
boys said that life would no longer be the same after their Happy Hunting
Ground, the hill, was removed.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Pancake Hill”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“There won’t be any fun left,” they sighed. They pointed
out their ballfield on the plateau half way up, to the rear, the site of the
Indian Cave, the old spring, the pasture where the old Herancourt brewery
horses were farmed out for a happy old age, and the places where the boys from
Goosetown, Brighton and Lick Run used to do battle for possession of Bald Knob.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The lads pointed out that there are really two Bald
Knobs, separated by the declivity, and that the name they always gave the Knob
was Pancake Hill. And there are two Pancakes – two bald, craggy hills, with
flat, pancake tops.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBEVzd5qf3_81neD1f-oEFLU_BSnkii60NSJGJA0YZyNk1iVcLa5CiEsI6Gk_HvkLs-kFV6vI1RLlXswmQubj3dFLHZs_t2Vf1wqbHlsdCLZZylSEIAz4aQXpnnIuiEPguQRV-ch_do-M3xnoJZS-iFOsXYCsaQJpdOkQpaeedyQcbgi_CLWREArq_CR4/s781/Quarry.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="221" data-original-width="781" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBEVzd5qf3_81neD1f-oEFLU_BSnkii60NSJGJA0YZyNk1iVcLa5CiEsI6Gk_HvkLs-kFV6vI1RLlXswmQubj3dFLHZs_t2Vf1wqbHlsdCLZZylSEIAz4aQXpnnIuiEPguQRV-ch_do-M3xnoJZS-iFOsXYCsaQJpdOkQpaeedyQcbgi_CLWREArq_CR4/w640-h182/Quarry.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1867 - Agreement to quarry stone to Lutterby (Lutterbei) & Herman</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: inherit;">Steep Cliffs</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The lads pointed out the steepest cliffs and showed the
steps they had cut in the stone so as to negotiate the most difficult parts of
the climb. They showed where the old “Ludebei Quarry” used to be, half century
or more ago, and where they flew kites in the stiff wind at the summit. The
remains of the old vineyards were still visible. Below was Ernst street, named
after the famous Bald Knob horticulturalist of long ago. There too, was the old
home of Attorney Sanford Brown – a pioneer dwelling – in which four generations
of the Brown family lived. But the home, together with other property in the vicinity,
was sold in connection with the depot project.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At the top of the hill the lads pointed out where they
sometimes built playhouses and had the thrill of being “Indians.” Miss Harriet
Brown recalled how the late Mrs. H. C. Robinson told her that before the Civil
War the hill was the scene of the anti-slavery picnics. It was also related
that years ago two business men tried to remove part of the hill with cables
and buckets and that this accounted for the cut between the two Bald Knobs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Many Memories</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Bald Knobs are among Cincinnati’s most outstanding
landmarks, and juts high into the skyline. They are located at Harrison and
State avenues, Brighton, and the knobs are immediately opposite the Harrison
avenue viaduct. They are visible from the City Hall windows and from any high vantage
point in the basin of the city and are south of the well-known Schuetzenbuckel
hill.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Many are the memories that will be aroused by the cutting
down of Bald Knob. A tear almost came to the eyes of Phil Pfalzgraff, Thursday
morning, as he saw what was happening at the hill he has passed so often, “Just

With the onset of the Civil War, Sarah decided to return to Massachusetts with the youngest of her children.

While I was researching more about the development of Ivorydale as a planned community, I discovered more about the land where the plant was built. This land was purchased by an early sheriff of Cincinnati, John Ludlow, who was the half-brother of Israel Ludlow, one of the co-founders of Cincinnati and the surveyor of the Miami Purchase. John arrived in the city in 1789 from New York and became sheriff the next year.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYuPy2QIh4td9qGoPOllJtgCO6gBObURn0qDuefB8_2lcelYexqdXud2kRM5w9cJh9GfPZZCmiLLiERh4Q9SVg14YzDAq5RHTJoJCKyH6-h9OaBtuyBiZ6cQp5Q7XvJT48QXnHZZd4jDtyR9Q0ZsguhhJHuGhQKXINuc6urGdHymiptH2knQIPnKS/s667/Map%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

Many Cincinnatians are familiar with Ivorydale, the huge 50+ acre complex near St. Bernard. However, the original factory was built in the mid 1840s and was located on eastside of Central Avenue (then called Western Row) between York and Dayton Streets.

This proved fortunate when a disastrous fire struck the main plant on January 7, 1884, causing nearly all the buildings to be destroyed or damaged. It was a bitter cold day, and the John Hauck Brewing Company, across the Central Avenue from the P&G, provided shelter for the firefighters to warm themselves. Mr. Gamble provided sandwiches and coffee to sustain them as well.<br /><br />The company was well-insured for such an event, and operations continued at the Ohio Candle Company facility, along with the buildings unscathed from the fire. This event led the company to search for a new area for their factory, where they had room to expand and also adding housing for employees. Over 50 acres were purchased near St. Bernard, with easy access to rail lines to create Ivorydale. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis_9opjSE82Xvvgm38VytI2mu6SjhKrFXtao8-qDUkajld34ZmsDvgojdksd908pXGGj_Mh0h0TYm3GoNFecpZI1z8Wat_1L4QrQALVJR_IVVOpU65OEMl9I6vlYa2pVqVwyiDgTaz41cEBUhosiTqC8TD1gHYecbj8KXtAhc-TIZzLd_KguN5qPqu/s1384/1891%20Map%20Combined.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1307" data-original-width="1384" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis_9opjSE82Xvvgm38VytI2mu6SjhKrFXtao8-qDUkajld34ZmsDvgojdksd908pXGGj_Mh0h0TYm3GoNFecpZI1z8Wat_1L4QrQALVJR_IVVOpU65OEMl9I6vlYa2pVqVwyiDgTaz41cEBUhosiTqC8TD1gHYecbj8KXtAhc-TIZzLd_KguN5qPqu/w400-h378/1891%20Map%20Combined.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1891</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5OuGgzE2M5RRqoT9I0NAvTSog_KfqX28C2Ixp92UHvzKS9X3ACagSdpomieBn66RffMEAGYBjOCko8NWx2KaEdVyxrfQz4KoFY8n7rbrQzn8TlLDK8GaSBxcGEAVBO2AykYwkJeEsTqh9JrE2iADKECpyrIjIl3UCy-upMwwURZxNJbC5l8GGgrDg/s1802/1930%20Map%202.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1785" data-original-width="1802" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5OuGgzE2M5RRqoT9I0NAvTSog_KfqX28C2Ixp92UHvzKS9X3ACagSdpomieBn66RffMEAGYBjOCko8NWx2KaEdVyxrfQz4KoFY8n7rbrQzn8TlLDK8GaSBxcGEAVBO2AykYwkJeEsTqh9JrE2iADKECpyrIjIl3UCy-upMwwURZxNJbC5l8GGgrDg/w400-h396/1930%20Map%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1930</td></tr></tbody></table>After the move to Ivorydale, a few of the original buildings remained on Central Avenue, marked in "very poor conditions" and "ruins" on the 1891 Sanborn Map.

In 1979, Dr. Link agreed to sell all the buildings to Xavier University in 1989. Once acquired by the university, the Droesch house was used as housing for religious sisters, and later as a residence for honor students.

The home was built in the late 1850s for the Nulsen and Wagner families (Anton Nulsen and Philippina Nulsen Wager were siblings.). As the hospital expanded, they purchased both portions of the house. It was so successful, that plans were made in 1899 to build a new structure in Clifton Heights. It was completed in 1903, and the Liberty Hill houses were converted into the Ohio Maternity Hospital until it was sold in 1914 to a private owner. </span></div></span><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1YIBc4vKNo8JjYi4kElpS82Abh3iUbzaT_CrW9hoy_iZ_jMSMXKwMlkVqCxOda_hwVxeEGl932g-CmfP9HtvadxEPM1Iww4wZYOOmFnSxMuWPdRy5jpOi4wkr46GGpXv-z8lSTUIqIN9Y0NXBl6SNDwCjabrr7KU451Qdg0KnecFlFUNzod8ELG2K-w/s1716/Sketch%20clifton%20straight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="1716" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1YIBc4vKNo8JjYi4kElpS82Abh3iUbzaT_CrW9hoy_iZ_jMSMXKwMlkVqCxOda_hwVxeEGl932g-CmfP9HtvadxEPM1Iww4wZYOOmFnSxMuWPdRy5jpOi4wkr46GGpXv-z8lSTUIqIN9Y0NXBl6SNDwCjabrr7KU451Qdg0KnecFlFUNzod8ELG2K-w/w400-h220/Sketch%20clifton%20straight.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sketch of the hospital to be built at Clifton Avenue and Straight Street.<br />Cincinnati Enquirer; March 17, 1902; p. 5</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Liberty Hill houses were converted in apartments, </span></span><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">conveniently</span></span><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> called "The Liberty".

This was the Citizens' National Bank building that stood on the southeast corner of Fourth and Main Streets. Of course I had to know more!<br />
<br />
Before this building was constructed, this corner was occupied by four brick buildings as noted on this map from 1891.<br />

Those buildings were demolished for the construction of the bank between 1905 and 1906. It was designed by Cincinnati's own <a href="http://www.samuelhannaford.info/">Samuel Hannaford</a>. During construction, a few mishaps occurred. Two men almost lost their lives when four floors collapsed into the cellar. One survived by being under a stairwell, while the other hung onto a ledge in the wall until rescued.<br />

But the issues didn't stop there! The discovery of old, shoddy workmanship reared its head once foundation work began. The foundation of the neighboring building encroached by 28 or more inches because rocks were just piled up to support the walls.

However, by 1979, downtown was going through a rebuilding phase which brought many of the highrise buildings we have today. This bank building was <span style="font-family: inherit;">an unfortunate victim of the times. In its place, the Atrium I Building, designed by <span style="color: #222222;">Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, was c</span>onstructed in 1981. It is now known as the Omnicare Center.</span><br />

This home was built in 1885 for George H. Grimmelsman, and designed by architect <a href="http://oldsite.architecturecincy.org/dictionary/R.html#richter" target="_blank">Theodore Richter</a>. Early in his career, Richter worked with other well-known Cincinnati architects such as James McLaughlin, Edwin Anderson and George Rapp. By the time this house was constructed, Richter has his own firm. He is known for many residential buildings in Over-the-Rhine, Clifton, and for the Church of the Holy Family in Price Hill.<br />

In 1944, the Grimmelsman family sold the home and between then and 2005 it was transferred to different owners 19 times! The present owners have greatly updated the home but still keeping many of the original details. There are views of downtown Cincinnati from every level and amazing roof top deck.<br />

This home was completed in 1892 and designed by <a href="http://oldsite.architecturecincy.org/dictionary/P.html#plympton">Lucian F. Plympton</a> for Albert Day Fisher. Fisher was a very successful grain merchant who was born in Indiana. According to a 1979 Cincinnati Enquirer article, there are two legends as to why it was built in the Swiss-style. One is that Fisher and his wife spent their honeymoon in Switzerland and wanted their home to be in the same style, although they were married for over 10 years when the home was built. The other story is that Plympton's wife came from Switzerland and she inspired this home. However, census records show she was from Verona, Italy.</div>

The Fisher family only lived here until 1907, when it was sold to Mark Davis, a business man in the insurance field. After his death in 1931, his wife and children owned the home until 1944. The home was sold in 1949 and again in 1959 to Katherine Hanna, who was the director of the Taft Museum. </div>

Hanna shared the home with her longtime friend, Janet Weigel and they dedicated time and money to keeping up the home. Multiple articles featured the unique style and story of the chalet.</div>

While the Hamilton County Auditor has the year built as 1865, it turns out that part of this home are much older (1830s) and built by one of the founding families of Hamilton County. As I started my digging, I found a wonderful article in the Cincinnati Enquirer that had explored the history of this home in 1970, so please enjoy this look back into the history of this home!<br />

So it appears that Michael and Edmund Grass/Krass (their last name is spelled multiple ways over the years) owned it from at least 1869 and a structure is on the map in the approximate location of the house today. I decided to complete a deed and mortgage index search on the <a href="http://recordersoffice.hamilton-co.org/helpful_information/series_indices.html">Hamilton County Recorder's website</a> to explore further into the past.<br />

</tbody></table>
While this mortgage seems to state the Krass family purchased the land in 1851, evidence from the census records show they lived here the previous year. It could be that the previous land owners, Truman Allen and Samuel Hardin used tenant farmers to help cultivate their land. This house may have been built in 1831 for these tenants, but there is no proof of this in the records found. Samuel Hardin lived on Springdale Road near Colerain Avenue and in 1856 owned well-over 300 acres in the township. He also served as an early Trustee.<br />

The census records show that the Krass family lived in the home until the 1920s. John Krass, born in 1806 in Germany, died in 1871 and is buried along with his wife Margaretha (1803-1878) in Saint James Cemetery in White Oak. Michael, their son, married Eva Peter in 1849 and they had five children: Elizabeth, Margaret, Catherine, Caroline and Edmund. Michael remained with his son after the death of Eva around 1900 and he died in 1915. Ownership of the farm transferred to Edmund until he sold it in 1925 to Anthony and Annie Roth. The Roths are listed on the 1930 Census with their eight children.<br />

I have had my eye on this property for years to really dig into its history. Now I see the <a href="https://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/oh/cincinnati/1905-bigelow-street/pid_8328990/">property is being sold as land</a>, which tells me the house may not be standing for too much longer.

The quote above caught my eye over three years ago. I thought surely other local historians knew about this house but I couldn't find any mentions of it and whether it still was around. So I did more digging.<br />

A quick look at the Hamilton County Auditor's website told me their year built date was 1865, but time has proven these dates aren't always accurate. That date more likely came from when the land was divided into a subdivision by John Bigelow, who was James Keys' brother-in-law. The auditor site also showed that the same family mentioned in the article fr<span style="font-family: inherit;">om the <span style="text-align: center;">Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church in 1943 still owned the home. Photos from the auditor's site were really no help in getting a better look at the property.</span></span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;">I have still been unable to get a good look at this house, since I am not one to trespass on private property. However, inspired with all this information, I wanted to see if I could verify the history mentioned in the two articles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: center;">I decided a deed search would be helpful. The land was originally part of the Symmes Purchase and sold to Israel Ludlow who sold to Christoper Cary who sold to William Cary who sold to Arthur Henrie who sold to William Barr and James Keys. Barr was James Keys' father-in-law and shortly after their joint purchase, Barr sold his half to Keys, leaving Keys the sole owner of 30 acres. Pieces of the original plot were sold over time and after Keys' death, the property went to his sister-in-law, Maria Barr Bigelow, her second husband being John Bigelow. John died in 1858 and Maria in 1860, and shortly after, the property was divided into Bigelow's Subdivision.</span></span><br />

I hope you enjoy reading the history of this house, mostly known for being the home of Ruth Lyons and her husband Herman Newman. When this house went on the market earlier this year, I was surprised to see the year built is listed as 1865! So I had to dig more into the history of this home.<br />

Let's go back in time to some historic maps. This is often the easiest way to trace back ownership of land and to see if a building on the old maps matches up with a present day map. I used the <a href="http://cagisonline.hamilton-co.org/cagisonline/index.html">CAGIS maps</a> to determine the property's Township, Range and Section (original divisons of the Symmes Purchase) so I could use the same information on the old maps.</div>

I found this home was mentioned as being recently restored in the Mount Washington Comprehensive Plan. They also called it the "Mears House" so this gave me some information to start with. The Hamilton County Auditor lists the year built as 1833! So I went to check my maps to see what I could find.<br />

The 1847 Map of Hamilton County shows the land and quite possibly the house were owned by J. Gallagher. A little searching in the deed records revealed that James Gallagher purchased this land circa 1830 and then sold it to John Mears in 1854.<br />

John <span style="font-family: inherit;">Mears was a well-known farmer and renowned for his strawberries as mentioned in this article from the <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Farmers’
Home Journal, Sept. 25, 1879.</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The average yield of strawberries will run from fifty to
sixty bushels per acre, but in many instances over 100 bushels are obtained in
field culture. During the years 1860 to 1865, Mr. John Mears, of Mount
Washington, was the most extensive grower of strawberries in the State, having
about twenty-five acres under cultivation. These were the years of highest prices, and Mr. Mears
realized from six to ten dollars per bushel for his crop, his berries being
exceptionally fine and salable. During the year 1864, Mr. Mears gathered 316
bushels from a patch a trifle less than two and a half acres. Mr. Mears may be

John passed away at the age of 87 on April 15, 1904. He had married once at the age of 67 to Marie who was 22 years younger than he, but they had no children. After his death, the property was sold to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Weld_Peck">John Weld Peck</a>, who became a federal judge and the namesake of the Federal Building in Cincinnati.<br />

Judge Peck sold the property in 1921 to Frank G. Menke and it was sold again in the 1940s to the Clarabeth Heis. The Heis family created the Heis Realty Company and subdivided the land. The home became a multi-family property over the years. Between 2003 and 2007, the home underwent a conversion back to a single family home. The Mount Washington Community Council approved this decision in the following article from the Comprehensive Plan for Mount Washington in 2007:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Residential Zoning Changes: Numerous areas of the
neighborhood currently zoned for multi-family use should be rezoned to single family
zoning designations to reflect the current use of the property and to reduce
the potential for future multi-family expansion. These areas include properties
around the intersection of Oxford Avenue and Crestview Place, around the
intersection of Heis Terrace and Beth Lane, and along the north side of Corbly
Street west of Oxford Avenue. These areas contain mostly single-family homes.
The properties in the Heis Terrace/Beth Lane area do contain existing multi-family
buildings but should be rezoned to a single-family district to encourage this
area to revert back to a single-family area over time. The recently renovated
Mears house on Heis Terrace, which had been broken into multiple units and was restored
to a single family home, should be preserved as a single residence and the properties
immediately surrounding it should be encourage to be redeveloped with
single-family homes.<o:p></o:p></div>

The current owners attempted to sell the home in 2013. The property was described as:<br />

It seems to be a small miracle that this house has survived since the 1830s and was not demolished in the 1940s-1950s when the other neighborhood houses were built. Thanks to the Heis family, we get to enjoy a surprise piece of history.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756157783370608109.post-63363413640807984522015-08-11T13:12:00.001-04:002015-08-11T13:12:54.898-04:00How To - Find Pictures<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finding old pictures of your property can be
quite difficult, unless your property is located near a landmark, owned by a
famous Cincinnatian or located in a prominent neighborhood. There are a few
websites worth searching just in case. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you do not find any success, try locating
living family members of former owners. Perhaps photos were taken of the home
and are hiding in someone’s attic. Using the information collected from your
research, try an internet people search and make contact with the relatives. It
cannot hurt to ask!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Commonly known as the Apotheke Building, because of the sign that was saved on its south facing facade, it appears from my research that it was built in 1851 for George Wurth. He leased it that same year to William Boettger, the first apothecary (Apotheke in German) to live and work in this building. William remained in business here until his death in 1878.<br />

From 1900 until 1914, William Scheidt took over the pharmacy business. In 1915, however, the storefront changed business entirely to a billiard and pool parlor. The upstairs apartments continued to be rented to various families through these years. The pool business did not remain for long. By 1920, Arthur Ehrmantraut and other fellow optometrists and opticians took up shop here. In 1925, Edwin Enz had his doctor's office here as well, delivering over 5,000 babies during his 48 years of practice. In 1930, a dentist was also added to the mix, although part of the storefront at 1835 Vine Street became a shop for Howard Cleaners.<br />

Because Ehrmantraut had his business here for so long and purchased it from the Wurth family in 1924, it was called the Ehrmantraut Building in city directories. By 1959, 1833 Vine Street was vacant and 1835 Vine Street had the Westendorf Men's Shop. Otherwise, the rest of the building no longer had tenants of any sort, either residents or offices.<br />

In 1999, the building to the south was demolished, revealing the Apotheke sign. When this building was repai<span style="font-family: inherit;">nted, Don Heinrich Tolzmann, a local German history expert, encouraged the painters to keep the sign because:</span><br />

Now with a new owner, the building will return to active use, with commercial space on the first floor and two two-bedroom apartments on the upper floors. With close access to Findlay Market and the famous <a href="http://www.schwartzspoint.com/">Schwartz Point Jazz Club</a> just across the street, this old building will soon get a new life and more history to add onto this story.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756157783370608109.post-8914461030995655442015-07-08T23:07:00.002-04:002015-07-09T09:40:26.541-04:00Casa de Milo - 424 Liberty HillAt the request of my client, Andrew Howe of <a href="http://cranewoods.com/">Cranewoods Development LLC</a>, I researched the history of 424 Liberty Hill.

This building sits at the corner of Liberty Hill (formerly Liberty Street before it was extended to Reading Road) and Cumber Street. It is just east of the <a href="http://www.diggingcincinnati.com/2015/02/history-of-412-liberty-hill-school.html">former First District School</a>. Until the mid 1840s, Liberty Street was known as Northern Row, since it was at the edge of the town and section line of the city. North of this line was considered the "Northern Liberties" and outside the jurisdiction of the city laws.<br>

Searching the city directories, I found the earliest address for George Hartburn, who was a carpenter, living on Northern Row between Spring and Pendleton in 1843. William T. Hartburn (possibly George's son) uses the same address starting in 1846 and in 1853, he lists his address as 96 Liberty Street, the address of this property prior to 1896.<br>

It is hard to determine whether this is the actual structure that William Hartburn lived in from the 1840s until his death in 1859. However, his wife Ann continued to live in the home until 1866. Ownership, as determined by the deed records, shows that William and Ann created a trust in 1851 to protect their real estate investments. The property transferred through the trust until her death in 1896 and then was given to her grandson, William Keever, her only living descendant, since Ann, who remarried at the age of 69 to Henry Daganar, outlived all her children. The Hartburn and Keever families are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery.<br>

Andrew Howe, after his purchase of the building in January of 2015, updated the apartments and has had no problem renting them in this desired area of Prospect Hill. He recently added an addition to the chimney, the bust of a women he has named Venus. He intends to name the building Casa de Milo. I'm sure Venus has an amazing view of the city from her perch on this historic building.<br>
