The Hoodin Building was a historic apartment building in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1881, it was once one of the neighborhood's most prestigious addresses. Despite its designation as a historic site, it is no longer standing. Measuring two-and-a-half stories tall, the Hoodin Building was an Italianate structure with weatherboarded walls and a foundation of fieldstone. A raised basement necessitated the construction of wooden stairways to permit access to the building's front porches, both of which were heavily ornamented. Besides the porches, the building featured such details as a cornice with brackets, a symmetrical facade, and pedimented lintels above the windows of the second story. For this reason, a 1978 historic preservation survey found the building distinctive enough for special mention.In 1979, the Hoodin Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its historically significant architecture, which was deemed to be in excellent condition. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to the previous year's historic preservation survey; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included. Despite this distinction, the Hoodin has been demolished; the site is now an empty lot. Nevertheless, the building remains listed on the National Register.

The Kellogg House is a historic building in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1835, it is a two-and-a-half-story building with two prominent chimneys on the ends. The weatherboarded walls rest on a stone foundation and are covered by a metal roof, which rises to a high gable on each end. The building's architecture is a mix of the Federal style with many vernacular elements; it has been recognized as one of the area's best examples of transitional architecture. Some of the distinctive features of the Kellogg Building are the small brackets that support the simple cornice, two wings attached to the rear, and the two enclosed porches on the facade. Inside, the main hallway is ornamented by such features as intricate fretwork and multiple pillars. Main hallway is also occupied by the homes original pipe organ.Historically, the Kellogg House was operated as a hotel; it was erected by Samuel Knicely in 1835 and given to a Mr. Kellogg seven years later as a wedding gift.

Landt Building
Landt Building

The Landt Building is a historic house in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed at the end of the nineteenth century, it has been named one of the neighborhood's numerous historic sites. Erected in 1895, the Landt Building is a residence featuring evidence of the transition in popular architectural styles occurring at the end of the century. Its basic elements are ordinary: the walls are frame and topped with a flat roof, and the floor plan is a simple rectangle. Each of the house's sides is divided into four bays. Both the front and the sides feature overhangs, but the facade is markedly different from the other sides in its level of ornamentation. Placed on the side is a simple box-shaped structure on the second story only, while two curved section, resembling shallow bay windows, project from the middle of the facade and rise from the ground to the roof. Each is pierced by three windows on each story, and the walls of the projections are partly covered with roofing shingles. Two main entrances are placed in the facade, one on each corner. The cornice is distinguished by a bed-mould of prominent dentils, architectural styling from a different period; the house is unusual for its mix of details from the Georgian style with components from the far later styles current in the 1890s. Although originally built as a single-family residence, the Landt Building has since been converted into apartments.In 1979, the Landt Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its well-preserved unusual historic architecture. It was part of a group of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties added to the Register together as a multiple property submission; among the other members of the group were the Spencer Township Hall, the Kellogg House, and the Bates Building, all of which are located in the same block of Eastern Avenue as the Landt Building.

LuNeack House
LuNeack House

The LuNeack House is a historic residence in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1894, it is a frame building with clapboard walls, two-and-a-half stories tall. The overall floor plan of the house is that of a rectangle, with the front and rear being the shorter sides, although the original shape has been modified by the extension of the rear and a hexagonal bay on the western side.Architecturally, the most distinctive portion of the LuNeack House is the large porch, which is attached to the southward-facing front of the house. Many ornamental elements compose its walls and railings, such as spindles and a balustrade; moreover, the porch-facing windows feature prominent lintels. Additionally, the gables that rise to the roof are the locations of other details, such as imbricated shingles, circular windows, and elaborately carven bargeboards.Taken together, the various components of the LuNeack House form a well-preserved example of the Victorian style of architecture. Because the house has seen so few modifications since its original construction, it is architecturally distinctive; in 1978, a historic preservation survey of Columbia-Tusculum called it "outstanding" among the area's wooden Victorian residences. One year later, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its historically significant architecture. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to the previous year's historic preservation survey; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included.

Norwell Residence
Norwell Residence

The Norwell Residence is a historic house in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Victorian building constructed in 1890, it is a weatherboarded structure with a stone foundation and a shingled roof. The overall floor plan of the house is irregular: two and half stories tall, the house is shaped like the letter "L" but appears to be a rectangle, due to the presence of two separate porches that fill in the remaining area. Many ornate details characterize it, including imbricated shingles on the westward-facing gable end of the house, a frieze with spindles on the railing of the primary porch, and small yet cunningly crafted braces for the same porch. Yet more distinctive is the secondary porch, which sits atop the primary one; it features braces and spindles similar to those of the primary porch.Due to its virtually unchanged architecture, the Norwell Residence was called "outstanding" in a 1978 historic preservation survey that studied the architecture of Columbia-Tusculum. Contributing to its importance is its relationship with surrounding houses: eight other residences in the immediate vicinity were patterned after the Norwell Residence. Because of its architectural significance, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was one of seventeen Columbia-Tusculum properties included in a multiple property submission related to the previous year's historic preservation survey; most of the properties were buildings, but the Columbia Baptist and Fulton-Presbyterian Cemeteries were also included.
