Summary[edit]

Description These buildings, which are pretty typical for Cincinnati's urban fabric, are located on Queen City Avenue in South Fairmount. This photo shows a mansard-roofed storefront with stained glass inserts, which is similarly in decent shape, along with some residential structures and an older wood-frame Italianate mixed-use structure with a storefront that has been bricked up, likely for privacy and security. Surrounding these buildings are a series of pretty typical Cincinnati houses, including a Gambrel Roofed Dutch Colonial-style house and a couple of small, narrow, urban vernacular Italianate houses. These buildings are some of the remaining historic urban fabric along Queen City Avenue in the South Fairmount neighborhood of Cincinnati, following the mass-demolition of urban fabric for the Lick Run Project on the opposite side of the street. Dating to the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, the buildings include many mixed-use structures with ornate cornices and cast iron storefront pilasters, a common element in many of the city’s mixed-use buildings. There also is quite a bit of variation in the styles and details, with the Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Renaissance Revival styles. These buildings are the nucleus around which a neighborhood revitalization would occur, as they would be ideal for small businesses, residences, offices, and apartments like those seen in similar buildings in Over-the-Rhine, which has gone through a massive transformation. Hopefully, these buildings will hold out until the time in which they can once again be brought to life and be a part of a vibrant community.
