Bernheim House in Cincinnati

The Bernheim House is a historic residence in eastern Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1912, the house is one of the city's best examples of Colonial Revival architecture. Among its prominent architectural elements are its employment of the Palladian arch, a two-story entrance portico, multiple pilasters, and a cornice with dentilling. Its location atop a hill and on a large, otherwise-undeveloped lot make it a prominent component of the vicinity. The oldest house in the neighborhood, it is built of brick and stucco with wooden elements.Morris and Delia Bernheim arranged for the construction of the house in 1912 on open land approximately 13 acres (5.3 ha) in area. One of the owners of a conveyor belt factory, Morris chose to subdivide his property in the 1920s into two separate developments. In contrast to the Bernheim House, most of the houses in the development are built in the Tudor Revival style of architecture, thus increasing the distinctive architecture of the oldest house in the neighborhood. Because of its distinctive historic architecture, the Bernheim House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

George Hoadley Jr. House
George Hoadley Jr. House

The George Hoadley Jr. House is a historic residence in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1900, it has been named a historic site because of its unusual construction. The son of George Hoadly, the Governor of Ohio in the 1880s, George Hoadley Jr. was a prominent Cincinnati lawyer and one of the partners in the law firm of Harmon, Colston, Goldsmith, and Hoadley. At the end of the 1890s, Hoadley commissioned the design of his new house from one of the area's more prominent architectural firms: Elzner and Anderson, which had already produced such structures as the Ingalls Building downtown. Leading proponents of construction with concrete, Elzner and Anderson designed many buildings with the material, but the Hoadley House is one of just two concrete houses that displays the material on its exterior; it is covered with a fake stucco made from concrete. Aside from the exterior, it is much more of a typical area house, being a three-story building with a frame structure, a stone foundation, minor elements of wood, and a roof of ceramic tiles.In 1990, the Hoadley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; besides the house itself, the designation included a single contributing outbuilding. The house qualified for inclusion on the Register because of its distinctive historic architecture: besides its unusual material, it is significant as one of Cincinnati's earliest and most ornate surviving Mission Revival buildings.
