Capitoline Wolf Statue, Cincinnati
Capitoline Wolf Statue, Cincinnati

The Capitoline Wolf Statue is a sculpture of a she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The bronze sculpture on a granite and marble base is located in Eden Park at the Twin Lakes area overlooking the Ohio River. It is an exact replica of the original Capitoline Wolf in the Musei Capitolini of Rome, Italy.Italian dictator Benito Mussolini sent a small version of the statue for a 1929 Sons of Italy national convention in Cincinnati. It was replaced by a larger one in 1931, which is the version that still stands in Eden Park. The sculpture was meant to honor Cincinnatus, the namesake of Cincinnati. It is inscribed with the Latin Anno X (year ten), indicating 1931, the tenth year of Mussolini's regime.On January 6, 2020, Cincinnati City Council member Chris Seelbach tweeted that he wants the statue to be removed. Seelbach stated "Statues from the monster that was Benito Mussolini don’t belong in our parks. Museums? Maybe. But not Cincinnati Parks. I’m drafting legislation tomorrow to have the statue permanently removed." Shortly afterwards, Seelbach indefinitely delayed his plans to have the statue removed, saying "There’s been a lot of feedback about removing the statue from Eden Park. Instead of introducing legislation today to remove it, I’ll continue to listen and have conversations with all interested parties before making any formal decisions on its potential future."

Park Flats
Park Flats

The Park Flats are an apartment building in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1904, the flats are a four-story brick building with an unusual mix of architectural styles.Around 1900, Charles Mayer left the insurance business and became involved in real estate development. One of his projects was the Park Flats, which he built with numerous architectural innovations. Among these features were large bay windows with metal frames, two belt courses per story, and multiple colors of bricks. Constructed with the plan of a rectangle, Mayer's finished building includes elements of stone and stucco. It combines multiple elements of early twentieth century Neoclassical architecture with other features of the newly emergent Chicago School.In the late 2000s, developed Ed Horgan began to restore several different multi-unit residential buildings in the Walnut Hills neighborhood. Once home to many wealthy Cincinnatians, the neighborhood had fallen into poverty and high levels of crime, but Horgan believed that his project could attract prosperous young adults to gentrify the area. Besides the Park Flats, he purchased and renovated multiple properties, chief of which was the former Verona Apartments. With the completion of his project, the building comprised thirty-six apartments featuring elements such as wooden floors. Among the aspects of the building that Horgan encountered was its historic designation: the Park Flats were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, qualifying for inclusion because of their historically significant architecture. Two years later, much of Walnut Hills was declared a historic district and listed on the National Register as the Peeble's Corner Historic District; among its dozens of contributing properties were the Park Flats.

Ransley Apartment Building
Ransley Apartment Building

The Ransley Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1890s, it was designed by one of Cincinnati's most important architects, and it has been named a historic site. During the late 19th century, S.C. and L.A. Ransley were a pair of businessmen in Cincinnati; by the 1890s, they owned a chain of three confectionery stores in various parts of the city. One of their properties was located along Kemper Lane on the southeastern corner of its intersection with McMillan Street, and it was here that they chose to erect a large new structure with plenty of residential space. To design the building, they chose prominent architect Samuel Hannaford, the regionally famous architect celebrated for designing important city buildings such as City Hall and Music Hall.: 12 Three and a half stories tall, the Ransley Apartment Building is built of both brick and stone; the stonework is the ashlar of the first floor, while the other floors are brick.: 7  One enters the building through a recessed main doorway on the first floor, framed by a large stone archway; inscriptions "The Ransley" and "A.D. 1895" appear on and around the archway. Among the other major components of the design is a turret on the building's main corner, facing the intersection. Although the building's architecture has been described as a generic "Victorian", many of its components evince clear Romanesque Revival themes.: 7 In early 1980, the Ransley was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It was part of a large group of Hannaford-designed buildings added to the Register together as a multiple property submission: 55 buildings composed the whole group,: 3  including 4 apartment buildings.: 7
