Time Hill
Time Hill

Time Hill, the former offices of the Gruen Watch Company, is a historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. When completed in 1916, Time Hill was divided primarily into large rooms in which watchmakers sat at manufacturing desks under high ceilings with visible beams. The grand lobby, two stories tall, featured a mahogany staircase and a fireplace covered with Rookwood tile.: 73  The building sits elevated from McMillan Street, with a steep gabled roof parallel to the street and brick walls covered with half-timbering. The roof is ceramic tile and the structure is surrounded by an asphalt parking lot. A modern two-story addition adjoins the southeast portion of the original structure. Because of the grade differences, most of the addition is concealed.During the 1990s, Time Hill was occupied by an insurance firm, which subjected the building to an abortive attempt to create a modern office complex in the interior; nearly all of the interior was removed and replaced with new styling. After the venture failed, the building was sold at sheriff's sale to Union Institute & University,: 73  which already owned the similarly styled Procter and Collier-Beau Brummell Building across the street; a primarily online university, Union was outgrowing its space in the Brummell Building and bought Time Hill with intentions of converting it into the university's headquarters.: 72 In 1996, Time Hill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its place in local history and because of its historically significant architecture. The adjacent Brummell Building was given the same honor twelve years earlier.

Peebles' Corner Historic District
Peebles' Corner Historic District

Peebles' Corner Historic District is a registered historic district surrounding the intersection of East McMillan Street and Gilbert Avenue in the neighborhood of Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1985. Beginning in 1883, the northeast corner was the site of the first branch of the Joseph R. Peebles' Sons Co. grocery store. The name Peebles' Corner caught on with the public when the store owners persuaded conductors to announce their store as a stop on Cincinnati streetcars. The intersection served (and still serves) as a key cross-town transit transfer point in the city. The intersection had previously been called Kay's Corner, after the W. L. Kay & Co. grocers on the southeast corner. Peebles' grocery store closed in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression.The Orpheum and Paramount theatres once stood at Peebles' Corner. Established in 1909, the Orpheum was the first playhouse built outside of the city center. The Opheum provided vaudeville entertainment then showed silent films. It was closed in 1952 and then later demolished. In the 1950s, businesses at Peebles' Corner declined further as white flight blighted this urban core. In the 1960s, blight was exacerbated by the riots of 1967. The Peebles' Corner Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1985. By 2009, several proposals had been aired for restoring Peebles' Corner. One vision of the Walnut Hills Area Council is for the city to acquire 10 to 15 buildings, and selectively tear down half. Resources would be concentrated on the buildings scheduled to become anchors in the district.

Wilson-Gibson House
Wilson-Gibson House

The Wilson-Gibson House is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the middle of the 19th century, it features a mix of two prominent architectural styles, and it has been named a historic site. The lot currently located at 425 Oak Street was originally part of a subdivision known as "Vernon Village". Although the property was first owned by John Frazier, James Wilson bought it in 1859 at sheriff's sale and soon began construction on the site. Soon after its completion in the following year, Wilson's brother moved into the new house and lived in it for thirteen years, vacating it only at his death. Among the later owners was Louis Hauck, whose daughter Katherine Gibson was the owner whose name is on the house.Built of brick on a stone foundation, the Wilson-Gibson House is a two-and-a-half-story residence with walls full of shuttered windows. Unusually, it mixes components of two popular architectural styles that overlapped but little: the earlier Federal style and the later Neoclassical style. Cincinnati architectural historians have suggested that the house is patterned after the Taft Museum of Art downtown; both buildings are brick Federal structures with fanlights and sidelights around their grand double doors, paired internal chimneys, and six-over-six windows.In 1976, the Wilson-Gibson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of nearly 250 Cincinnati locations on the Register, it qualified for inclusion based on its distinctive historic architecture.

Captain Stone House
Captain Stone House

The Captain Stone House is a historic house in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Romanesque Revival structure built in 1890, it was designed by Samuel Hannaford and Sons for leading Cincinnati citizen George N. Stone and his wife Martha E. Stone, who was a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, and their two daughters. A native of New Hampshire who served as an officer in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, Stone moved to Cincinnati after the war and became a leading businessman. After Stone's lifetime, the house became a center for a Cincinnati chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous, which continues to host meetings at the property.Located on a corner lot,: 5  Hannaford's design features such distinctive elements as a round turret at the house's most prominent corner and a large gable on the house's front. Built with an asymmetrical floor plan, two-and-a-half stories tall,: 5  it is built of limestone with a stone foundation and an asbestos roof. The walls are built primarily of large ashlar blocks that form massive lintels, as well as smaller blocks that compose lug sills and string courses. Individuals may enter the house through a Romanesque entryway, which is accessed by a large front porch.Stone's house was typical of the Hannaford style; four other Hannaford houses from the same period of time remain in Cincinnati, and all five buildings feature walls of coursed ashlar.: 3  By the late nineteenth century, Hannaford's name was well known both in Cincinnati and elsewhere; he had produced the grand Music Hall in the 1870s,: 11  and many of the city's richest residents commissioned houses from him in the city's most prestigious neighborhoods. Dozens of nineteenth-century Hannaford designs remain in Cincinnati, including twenty houses; many of them have been deemed worthy of historic preservation because of their distinctive architecture.: 10  Among these houses is the Stone House, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, due to architecture that makes it important statewide, along with most of Hannaford's remaining buildings in Cincinnati.: 3
