Shared from @cincinnati_revealed . The George Hummel House in the Clifton Gaslight was designed in 1892 by eminent architect Samuel Hannaford. The design reflects Richardsonian Romanesque styling through the home鈥檚 ashlar stone construction, arches, and tower with conical roof. . #cincinnati #cliftongaslight #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #samuelhannaford #richardsonianromanesque #victorianhouse #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #queencity - #BrickStory, #storystylesoul, #historicpreservation, #househistory, #travelamerica, #vintage, #preservation, #historichome, #dreamhome, #americanhome, #americandream, #americanpride, #thisoldhouse, #myhouse, #ancestry, #storyteller Tell us your story...

22 Garfield Place was built in 1861 for Marcus Fechheimer, a wholesale clothier. The Italianate mansion is reportedly the earliest surviving home designed by Samuel Hannaford, Cincinnati's greatest and most prolific architect. In 1938, the Cuvier Press Club moved into the Fechheimer residence, remaining there for decades. In 1973, the building was acquired by city government and turned into senior citizens center. The Fechheimer home is the lone survivor on a block once filled with similar mansions. In 2005, Libby, Perszyk, Kathman (LPK) Inc., a global brand and innovation consultancy based in Cincinnati, purchased and restored the property, incorporating it into its headquarters with the adjacent Butterfield Center. The Fechheimer is fronted by Piatt Park, Cincy's oldest public park, established in 1817. #Cincinnati #Cincy #Downtown #PiattPark #Italianate #Neoclassical #VictorianArchitecture #SamuelHannaford #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #Brownstoner #CincyUSA #CincyRefined #OhioFindItHere #ThisPlaceMatters (at Piatt Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1ro_Xg_rf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mlcxhjautys3

When i first arrived in Cincinnati, the first building that made an impression on me was the former Cincinnati Times-Star Building, an imposing 16-story Art Deco edifice located at 800 Broadway Street downtown. Designed by the city's most prolific firm, Samuel Hannaford & Sons, it was built in 1933 as the then-new headquarters of the newspaper, which was owned by the Taft family from 1880 to 1958. The exterior is made of Bedford limestone and features carvings of allegorical representations of Truth, Patriotism, Progress & Speed at the crown of the building. There are also carvings of several men that played a vital role in the history of printing: Gutenberg, Byzantinus, Manutius, Caxton & Franklin. The ornately gilded entrance is another highlight. For some reason, I decided not to go inside. I seriously regret that decision. Definitely next time, though. In '58, the Times-Star, along with its assets, was merged with its main competitor, The Cincinnati Post, owned by the E. W. Scripps Company. The Post remained in the building until 1979. In the early 1980s, the building was purchased by Hamilton County. In 1991, a full renovation began to convert the interior into courtrooms and offices of the Court of Domestic Relations. The building also houses Juvenile Court. #Cincinnati #Cincy #Downtown #ArtDeco #Modernism #SamuelHannaford #archi_ologie #ModMondayz #thedecodarling #CincyUSA #CincyRefined #CincyGram #OhioFindItHere #ThisPlaceMatters (at Cincinnati Times-Star Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPTC_FAvqp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13nu8hgwgq7rx
