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.

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

Lane Seminary, sometimes called Cincinnati Lane Seminary, and later renamed Lane Theological Seminary, was a Presbyterian theological college that operated from 1829 to 1932 in Walnut Hills, Ohio, today a neighborhood in Cincinnati. Its campus was bounded by today's Gilbert, Yale, Park, and Chapel Streets.Its board intended it to be "a great central theological institution at Cincinnati — soon to become the great Andover or Princeton of the West." However, the founding and first years of Lane were difficult and contentious, culminating in a mass student exodus over the issue of slavery, or more specifically whether students were permitted to discuss the topic publicly, the first major academic freedom incident in America. There was strong pro-slavery sentiment in Cincinnati, and the trustees immediately prohibited further discussion of the topic, to avoid repercussions. With the city being on the border of the South, a lot of fugitive slaves and freedmen went through Cincinnati, including James Bradley, who would participate in the pivotal Lane slavery debates in the 1830s. Their competition for jobs had led to the anti-abolitionist Cincinnati riots of 1829 and would soon produce the Cincinnati riots of 1836.

The Cummins School is a historic former school building in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1871 in the neighborhood of Walnut Hills, it was later used as a model for the construction of other city school buildings.One of several Cincinnati school buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford, the Cummins School is a 3+1⁄2-story building. Built of brick with a stone foundation, it is topped with an asphalt roof and includes other elements of stone. Among its distinctive features are wrought iron stairways, ornamental wooden frames around the doors and windows, and wainscoting. The building's general floor plan features a central hallway, with classrooms lining both sides. The building as a whole was laid out in the shape of a double letter "E" to allow each room an increased amount of window space. Besides classrooms, the interior was equipped with rooms such as a library, a laboratory, and an office for the principal. One of the many forward-looking elements of its design was the heating system: although the building was originally heated with stoves, it was built to permit easy conversion to a steam-powered central heating system. More than thirty years after the building's construction, it was expanded by the addition of a small Neoclassical structure on its rear. The building as a whole was built in the Italianate style, similar to other Cincinnati schools built at the same time, such as the McKinley School on the city's east side.The Cummins School was eventually used by Cincinnati Public Schools as a model for later construction, due to its useful and economical floor plan. Its history paralleled that of the Eighteenth District School in the Camp Washington neighborhood; also a three-story Italianate brick building designed by Hannaford, it was erected in 1882 and expanded in 1908 and 1916. Hannaford's company continued to design buildings for Cincinnati Public Schools into the early twentieth century, their strong reputation having been established by buildings such as Cummins.In 1986, the Cummins School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its historically significant architecture. It joined dozens of other Hannaford designs in Hamilton County that had been listed on the National Register in 1980, including the Eighteenth District School. Five years later, the school was renovated at a cost of approximately $2,100,000. Today, it is used as an office building.
