Northside United Methodist Church
Northside United Methodist Church

The Northside United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1890s for a congregation more than sixty years old, the building has been named a historic site. The first Methodist Episcopal class in the Northside vicinity formed in the early nineteenth century, and their first building they completed in 1833. Finished in 1892, the present building is the congregation's third; although a second church replaced the pioneer structure, it was destroyed by fire in 1888. After the decision was made to rebuild, the pastor arranged for the architectural services of Samuel Hannaford.: 638–639  At the time, Hannaford was Cincinnati's leading architect, due to his responsibility for the grand Cincinnati Music Hall near downtown.: 11  He had further developed his reputation through frequent work with the city's economic and political leaders, producing numerous grand houses in fashionable neighborhoods such as Walnut Hills and Avondale.: 10  A Methodist himself, Hannaford was an active member of the Winton Place congregation,: 691  and he had designed buildings for the German Methodist Church in Over-the-Rhine as well as for his own church.: 5–6 Like many other stone Hannaford churches,: 3  the Northside Methodist Church is built with rough-faced stone walls. Gothic Revival windows are set throughout the building, which is distinguished by a massive gable-topped section at one end of its irregular floor plan. At one side of the facade rises a tower,: 6  within which the main entrance is set. Elements of limestone form the voussoirs around the Gothic Revival arches of the doorway, which frame wrought iron-supported doors and a transom of art glass. The whole building is one and one-half stories tall,: 638–639  although the belfry atop the tower sits above three separate stories. Set upon a stone foundation, the building is topped with a slate roof. The whole structure measures approximately 60 by 95 feet (18 m × 29 m).: 638–639 In 1980, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. By this time a part of the United Methodist Church, it was one of more than fifty Hannaford-designed buildings listed together as a multiple property submission because of their connection to Hannaford. Among the other buildings in the multiple property submission was the Charles A. Miller House, located two blocks to the west in the same street. No longer a house of worship, it has been divided into a recording studio and a residential section.

Domhoff Buildings
Domhoff Buildings

The Domhoff Buildings are a pair of historic commercial buildings in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Designed by architect W.W. Franklin, the two buildings are located on one corner of the junction of Hamilton and Chase Avenues, that neighborhood's most important intersection.Charles Henry Domhoff was a manufacturing magnate in late nineteenth-century Cincinnati. After joining a firm known as Addy, Hall, and Company in 1871, a company that manufactured pig iron in the Cincinnati area, he became its senior partner in 1888. Seven years later, he branched out on his own, founding the Domhoff and Joyce Company to manufacture pig iron and coke. While a partner with the Addy Company, he purchased a lot on the corner of Hamilton and Chase Avenues and arranged for the construction of two commercial buildings on the site. Completed in 1893, the two buildings are built of brick with metal roofs and minor elements of stone and metal. The two four-story structures were erected adjacent to each other, with only a small service yard separating them; the streetside portions of the buildings have room for five businesses, while the upper floors are divided into seventeen apartments. Neither building fits clearly into any single architectural style: because they were erected at a time when the Italianate style was losing favor and the Queen Anne style was becoming more common, they display some elements of each style.In 1980, the Domhoff Buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for this distinction because of their well preserved historic architecture.

Hoffner Historic District
Hoffner Historic District

The Hoffner Historic District is a historic collection of buildings in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built primarily at the end of the nineteenth century, the district has experienced few changes since it was built, and it has been named a historic site. Northside, also known as "Cumminsville", was first owned by John Cleves Symmes as part of his Symmes Purchase. Included within the boundaries of Mill Creek Township, the land was bought by Ezekiel Hutchinson and David Cummings in 1811 and 1817 respectively; the two men owned what is now the neighborhood's western and eastern portions, respectively. Both lands were bought by wealthy landowner Jacob Hoffner in 1836; he turned them into some of the grounds of an estate of more than 400 acres (160 ha). The estate failed to endure: Hoffner resided at the estate until his 1891 death, but the grounds were quickly subdivided and sold. Before long, the district's buildings had been constructed, and since the 1890s the neighborhood has experienced numerous changes: despite overwhelming technological advancement since the 1890s, the district retains its original appearance of a small village whose businesses can fulfill all needs of all residents within easy walking distance of their homes. In 1978, the Hoffner Historic District was officially designated and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is composed of twelve buildings in an area of 5 acres (2.0 ha): eleven that contribute to its historic nature, and one that does not. The district qualified for the National Register because of its distinctive historic architecture; built largely in the Italianate style, the buildings demonstrate the influence of German cultural influences in their uniform construction methods. Several houses are located in the district, along with a train station, a Masonic lodge, and a former train station.

Northside, Cincinnati
Northside, Cincinnati

Northside is a neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was originally known as Cumminsville, but changed names to "Northside" several decades ago after I-74 divided the neighborhood into Northside and South Cumminsville. The population was 7,467 at the 2010 census. Northside has a very racially and socio-economically diverse population, with concentrations of college students, artists, young professionals, and many members of the creative class. In recent years, Northside has earned a reputation as welcoming to Cincinnati's gay and lesbian community. Northside has been described as "hip," "alternative," "progressive," and "liberal." There are numerous shops and restaurants in the neighborhood, most of them independently owned. Northside has been noted as "one of the best dining neighborhoods in [Cincinnati]." During the warmer months the Northside Community Council sponsors a farmer's market in Hoffner Park. Many of Cincinnati's original bands can be heard at Northside Tavern. The neighborhood's popular Fourth of July celebrations, which include the Northside Fourth of July Parade and the Northside Rock and Roll Carnival draw citizens from across the region. Northside's community includes an urban garden co-op that provides "access to healthy food for all residents of the community," as well as a volunteer bicycle co-op that promotes and provides cycling to residents. To combat crime Northside's community replaced a troubled corner with two "green" homes. Northside is bordered by the neighborhoods of Clifton, Mount Airy, Spring Grove Village, College Hill, and Westwood.

American Can Company Building
American Can Company Building

The American Can Company Building, now known as the American Can Lofts, is a historic former factory in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1921, it is a concrete building with a concrete foundation; five stories tall, it has a total floor space of approximately 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2). Built by the American Can Company, the factory was used to manufacture can-making machines, rather than producing the cans itself; it remained in operation until closure in 1963. Two years later, it was reopened by the Cleveland Machine Company, which used its first floor for machining purposes; after their departure in 1978, it sat almost totally unused, with the only exceptions being small businesses such as T-shirt printers and warehouse operators.: 11 In late 2005, a local redevelopment company purchased the American Can Company Building, using a $500,000 loan from the city's community development office. Expecting to have to pay another $800,000 to resolve longstanding environmental issues at the property, the company received a grant of $750,000 from the Clean Ohio Assistance Fund.: 18  As this process was a significant component of a larger redevelopment project on the eastern portion of Northside, the American Can owners sought to renovate their property in a manner compatible with its historic nature.: 1  In 2006, the building was assessed against the guidelines of the National Register of Historic Places, a federal historic preservation program, and found to be eligible for inclusion on the Register. Besides starting the National Register nomination process, the owners applied for the building to be designated a historic site by Cincinnati's city planning commission; such approval was granted in July 2007.: 2  Three months later, the National Park Service added the building to the Register.
