James Baxter House
James Baxter House

The James Baxter House is a historic residence in the village of Amberley, Ohio, United States, near Cincinnati. Built in the 1800s and expanded in the 1930s, it retains much of its original architecture, and it has been named a historic site. The Baxter House is a brick structure with some weatherboarding and other wooden elements, set on a stone foundation and covered with a shake roof. A single-story porch shelters the center of the two-story facade, with the main entrance on the left side (as seen from the street) of the porch and two windows in the center and right side. Smaller extensions, two windows wide rather than three, are placed on either end of the center section of the house; all three sections rise to gables. The architecture is a mix of the Federal and Colonial Revival styles, which were the styles of the original building and of a 1930s addition, respectively.: 82 James Baxter bought the future site of the present house in 1797 as part of a property approximately 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2) in total area.: 79  Here he erected the core of the present house in 1807; many of the original elements, including the floor plan, the ash floor,: 80  the walnut cupboards, and much of the rest of the interior, have survived.: 80  Very little was modified until the 1930s, when the original building was expanded with a new section.: 83  The period owners derived much of the new addition's design from that of a Tidewater Virginia house, the colonial-era Carter's Grove.: 84  The resulting building is approximately 7,000 square feet (650 m2) in area and surrounded by a large lawn with early landscaping and a caretaker's house.In 1994, the Baxter House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of three Register-listed locations in Amberley, along with the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Gerald B. and Beverley Tonkens House and the ancient Benham Mound built by the prehistoric Hopewell Indian people.

Benham Mound
Benham Mound

The Benham Mound is a Native American mound in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located in modern Amberley Village in Hamilton County, the mound is an archaeological site.A volume of Hamilton County history, published in the nineteenth century, described the Benham Mound, named for a local farmer, as "a fine, large mound," which measured 8 feet (2.4 m) high and with a circumference of approximately 200 feet (61 m). Other dimensions exist that suggest a smaller structure that stood approximately 6.8 feet (2.1 m) in height and 57 feet (17 m) in diameter east and west and 50 feet (15 m) north to south. The mound is located on a hilltop that overlooks the valley of a tributary creek that flows west into the Mill Creek, which correlates with Section 30 of the original Columbia Township, near the Montgomery turnpike (now U.S. Route 22), that is, near end of present-day Grand Vista Avenue. The Norwood Mound lies approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the southwest.During the late nineteenth century, local residents partially excavated the mound and the ground around it; their diggings revealed significant amounts of mica and divers types of stone tools, including axes, scrapers, chisels, and flint projectile points. These findings, combined with the location of the mound itself, have led archaeologists to conclude that Benham Mound was built by people of the Hopewell tradition. Because of its archaeological value, the Benham Mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
