The Deer Creek Tunnel is an incomplete and abandoned double-track railroad tunnel through the Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Construction was begun in the 1850s by the broad gauge Dayton and Cincinnati Railroad, but ceased in 1855 due to lack of funds, and was never restarted. The Dayton and Cincinnati Railroad was incorporated in February 1847 as the Dayton, Lebanon and Deerfield Railroad, and renamed Dayton, Springboro, Lebanon and Cincinnati Railroad in February 1848, Dayton and Cincinnati Railroad in February 1849, and Cincinnati Railway Tunnel Company in January 1872. The Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway, a Pennsylvania Railroad subsidiary which itself had the much shorter Oak Street Tunnel in the same area, acquired the unfinished tunnel in September 1902 after a foreclosure sale in May 1896. Ownership passed to the Pennsylvania, Ohio and Detroit Railroad in January 1926 and the Connecting Railway in May 1956, and remained with the Penn Central Company when Conrail took over that company's profitable rail assets in 1976.

Elsinore Arch (also known as Elsinore Tower) is a registered historic structure in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on March 3, 1980. The building, at Gilbert Avenue and Elsinore Place, was constructed in 1883 for the Cincinnati Water Works. It's said to be inspired by the Elsinore Castle (Kronborg) featured in Hamlet.In 1883, the Cincinnati Water Works wanted to extend its efficient water supply main tunnel (which had remained incomplete for several years) 185 feet to the line at Gilbert Avenue. This efficient main started at the reservoir in Eden Park. To control the flow of water at the base of the steep hill, a valve house was needed. Because the Water Works wanted to enhance the landscape of the park, plus they wanted a structure that would also serve as a new entrance to the park, they felt that the valve house needed to have a special design. That spring, Cincinnati was host to the Shakespearean Dramatic Festival at Music Hall. The highlight of the festival was the performance of "Hamlet" on Friday evening, May 4. The Shakespearean actor James Edward Murdoch played the role of Hamlet. Even at the age of 72, this actor was very popular in Cincinnati, mainly because Cincinnati was his hometown. Although many in the audience felt that Mr. Murdock was too old to play the role of Hamlet, they were highly impressed with the stage sets, especially the opening scene. This particular stage set was a 65-by-65 foot painting of Elsinore Castle (also known as Kronberg Castle), where the moody Denmark prince walked at night and spoke with the ghost of his father. A local artist named Merry painted this stage set. In the audience that night was Water Works Superintendent A.G. Moore. He was so impressed with the painting of Elsinore Castle that that next Monday morning he appeared at the offices of Samuel Hannaford and Sons (famous local architectural firm that designed, among other structures, Music Hall and the Cincinnati City Hall) with a newspaper illustration of the Elsinore stage set. What resulted was that Charles B. Hannaford, the son of Samuel, was commissioned to design the valve house in the form of Elsinore Castle. The Elsinore Tower was built later that year for a cost of $15,000.What resulted is the Norman Romanesque Revival mini-castle consisting of a cylindrical castellated tower joined to a smaller square tower by a battlemented archway. Since the Cincinnati Art Museum officially opened in 1886, a flight of Cincinnati steps were placed behind the Elsinore Tower as a short cut to the museum in Eden Park. However, the steps were too steep to ever become popular; and with the ever-increasing prevalence of motorized travel, the Elsinore Tower soon lost its appeal as an entrance to the Park. As of 1988, it was reported that the reservoir valves were housed in a vault underneath the tower and that the Cincinnati Water Works used the Elsinore Tower for equipment storage. The adjacent WCPO-TV building was built with stonework similar to that used in the arch's construction. (That same building site was once the home of Cincinnati's Natural History Museum.)

The Spring House Gazebo is a historic gazebo of Eden Park within Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States. Designed by architect Cornelius M. Foster and completed in 1904, it is the oldest enduring park structure in the Cincinnati municipal park system. As an icon of the entire park system, it appears in the logo of the Cincinnati Park Board. The gazebo was constructed in the Moorish style, with brightly painted arches and ball finials.The gazebo took its name from the old spring house it replaced. Said to have therapeutic qualities, locals hauled away the spring water by the bucketful until the spring was found to be contaminated. The well was sealed off in 1912.The Spring House Gazebo stands near the center of the park next to Mirror Lake, a large reflecting pool and former city reservoir with a walkway around its perimeter. The seasonal fountain in Mirror Lake shoots water 60 feet (18 m) in the air and can be seen from miles away from the hilltop park.

The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is a regional theatre in the United States. It was founded in 1959 by college student Gerald Covell and was one of the first regional theatres in the United States. Located in Eden Park, the first play that premiered at the Playhouse on October 10, 1960, was Meyer Levin's Compulsion. The Playhouse has maintained a regional and national reputation in the theatre community for bringing prominent plays to Cincinnati and for hosting national premieres such as Tennessee Williams' The Notebook of Trigorin in 1996 and world premieres such as the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Coyote on a Fence in 1998 and Ace in 2006.The Playhouse facility comprises two theatres, the larger Robert S. Marx Theatre and the smaller Shelterhouse. The Playhouse is among the members of the League of Resident Theatres. In addition to a full ten-month season of plays, the Playhouse also offers acting classes and programs for children. In 1973-1975, the Playhouse was the first professional regional theatre to be led by Harold Scott.Scott was followed by Michael Murray, who was artistic director at the Playhouse until 1985. Murray was co-founder of the Charles Playhouse in Boston and is one of the early leaders of the Regional Theatre Movement. The Playhouse was under the leadership of Edward Stern (Producing Artistic Director) and Buzz Ward (Executive Director) between 1992 and 2012. In 2012, Blake Robison became artistic director and Buzz Ward was promoted to managing director.In 2004, the Playhouse received a Tony Award for Best Regional Theatre. In 2007, the Playhouse received a second Tony Award for their revival of Company, which won Best Revival of a Musical. The production was directed by John Doyle and also won Drama Desk, Outer Critic's Circle and Drama League Awards for Best Revival of a Musical. The Shelterhouse theatre was named for Jay Thompson until 2017 and will be renamed the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre in 2019.Currently Mount Adams, home of the Cincinnati Art Museum and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, is undergoing major renovation that will result in beautiful approaches to the summit. https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2020/05/07/cincinnati-art-museum-to-unveil-first-phase-of-art.html

Pilgrim Presbyterian Church is a historic church building in the Mount Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, near the Ida Street Viaduct. Built in 1886, it is a Gothic Revival structure built primarily of brick. Constructed by Mount Adams architect and builder Charles E. Iliff, the church features a two-story rectangular floor plan with a prominent central bell tower. Among its other distinctive architectural elements are the rose windows in the main gable, pairs of windows on its second floor, and the symmetry evidenced in the overall design of the building.Although Cincinnati was largely Presbyterian in its early history, Mount Adams was originally a strongly Catholic community; Pilgrim Presbyterian was the first Protestant church of any denomination to be founded in that neighborhood. Today, the congregation is no longer in existence: the building is now owned by Pilgrim Chapel United Church of Christ, and its name is absent from the roster of the Cincinnati Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church.In 1980, the former Pilgrim Presbyterian Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for inclusion on the Register both because of its distinctive historic architecture and because of its place in local history.

The Gilbert–Sinton Historic District is an area in the southern portion of the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A triangle measuring slightly more than 13 acres (5.3 ha) in area, the district's edges are generally Morris Street and Sinton Avenue (both small residential streets) and the substantially larger Gilbert Avenue, which is concurrently designated as U.S. Route 22 and State Route 3.Most of the district was created by a small group of real estate developers working in conjunction with each other. As a result, none of the present buildings were constructed before 1880, and little construction occurred after the turn of the 20th century. Additionally, the architecture is relatively homogenous: most of the buildings are large residences constructed as homes for the wealthy, and the architectural styles exhibited in the district (which is predominately Queen Anne and Shingle style) feature similar components and designs.In its early years, life in the present-day Gilbert–Sinton neighborhood was accompanied by plentiful amenities. When public transportation was initially established in the area, its first route ran along Sinton Avenue, and Cincinnati's first cable car line used Gilbert Avenue. Neighborhoods all along this pioneer cable car route expanded rapidly, and Gilbert–Sinton was no exception. Even today, the impact of these early public transportation routes is evident in the neighborhood. Residents did not need to travel for entertainment; besides being the district's southern boundary, Morris Street is the northern boundary of the large Eden Park.In 1983, the Gilbert–Sinton neighborhood was named a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Eighty-seven of the district's ninety buildings were counted as contributing properties. Among these properties are the Gilbert Row along Gilbert Avenue and a pair of buildings known as Madam Fredin's Eden Park School and Neighboring Row House on Morris Street, which had already been listed on the National Register in 1982 and 1979 respectively.
