The Brittany Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Queen Anne structure constructed in 1885, it is a six-story rectangular structure with a flat roof, built with brick walls and elements of wood and sandstone. It was built by the firm of Thomas Emery's Sons,: 7  Cincinnati's leading real estate developers during the 1880s. It is one of four large apartment complexes erected by the Emerys during the 1880s; only the Brittany and the Lombardy Apartment Buildings have endured to the present day. Both the Lombardy and the Brittany were built in 1885 according to designs by Samuel Hannaford;: 7  at that time, his independent architectural practice was gaining great prominence in the Cincinnati metropolitan area.: 11 Among the distinctive elements of the Brittany's architecture are the massive chimneys on each end of the building. The exterior of the building is covered with decorative pieces, such as a comprehensive cornice with boxed pediments, plentiful brick pilasters and corbelling, and prominent bay windows.: 7 In 1980, the Brittany Apartment Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its well-preserved historic architecture. Dozens of other properties in Cincinnati, including the Lombardy Apartment Building, were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford.: 10  Eight months later, the portion of Ninth Street between Vine and Race Streets was added to the Register as the Ninth Street Historic District, and the Brittany Apartments were named one of the district's dozens of contributing properties.The building has been redone as LeBrittany, housing 15 units of luxury condominiums.

The Saxony Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Located along Ninth Street in the city's downtown, this five-story brick building includes a distinctive range of architectural details. Among these elements are brick pilasters and projections, a three-story bay window on each side of the symmetrical main facade, semicircular balconies, and many stone pieces, such as pediments, keystones, and stringcourses. Due to its location at the intersection of Ninth and Race Streets, the Saxony appears to have two fronts: one onto each street. Although the Ninth Street facade is larger and more complex, the Race Street facade is nevertheless ornate as well: it features small yet elaborate semicircular balconies with wrought iron railings similar to those of the Ninth Street facade.Constructed in 1891 according to a design by leading Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford, the Saxony Apartment Building was constructed during the last years of Hannaford's practice. By this time, he had established himself as one of the city's premier architects, due in large part to his responsibility for the grand Cincinnati Music Hall in the 1870s.: 11  Among the distinctive elements of his buildings as a group is the wide range of architectural styles that he employed: his surviving buildings demonstrate at least five different styles,: 12  and although the Saxony Apartments include some obvious Queen Anne elements,: 7  the building's overall style cannot easily be classified. On March 3, 1980, the Saxony Apartment Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its well-preserved historic architecture. Three other apartment buildings,: 7  along with more than thirty other buildings in the cities of Cincinnati and Wyoming,: 3  were listed on the National Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Hannaford in Hamilton County. Eight months later, the portion of Ninth Street between Vine and Race Streets was added to the Register as the Ninth Street Historic District, and the Saxony Apartments were named one of the district's dozens of contributing properties.

The Alkemeyer Commercial Buildings are a pair of business buildings located at 19 and 23 Court Street in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

The Ninth Street Historic District is a group of historic buildings located along Ninth Street on the northern side of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Composed of buildings constructed between the second quarter of the nineteenth century and the second quarter of the twentieth, it was primarily built between 1840 and 1890, when Cincinnati was experiencing its greatest period of growth. The district embraces the blocks of Ninth Street between Plum and Vine Streets, which includes forty-four buildings that contribute to the district's historic nature.Few Cincinnati streets retain such a cohesive collection of nineteenth-century architecture as do these three blocks of Ninth Street. Although the buildings were erected over a span of more than a century, they are remarkably similar in their construction: examples of the Queen Anne, Italianate, and Greek Revival styles of architecture are found in the district. Throughout the years that the district was constructed, Cincinnati was a city of pedestrians, and the diversity of the district's buildings highlight this status: within the district's boundaries can be found shops, houses, apartment buildings, and other commercial structures. Among the most important buildings in the district are the Abraham J. Friedlander House, the Brittany and Saxony Apartment Buildings, and the Phoenix Club, all of which were listed on the National Register of Historic Places between May 1979 and March 1980. Eighth months after the last of these four buildings was added to the National Register, the district itself was accorded a similar distinction.

Washington Park is bounded by West 12th, Race and Elm Streets in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The park is owned and operated by the Cincinnati Park Board. The 6-acre (2.4 ha) park served as Presbyterian and Episcopal cemeteries before it was acquired by the city from 1858 to 1863. The park has an old-fashioned bandstand and many trees. Several American Civil War cannons and busts of Civil War heroes Frederick Hecker and Colonel Robert Latimer McCook, who commanded the German 9th Ohio Infantry (Die Neuner) are in the park. There is also a bronze tablet (1931) given by Sons and Daughters of the (Die Neuner) 9th O.V.I. The Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States was held at the park in 1888. It was, in addition to the celebration of Ohio's progress, designed to celebrate the settlement of the Northwest Territory. The park stands in the shadow of the Cincinnati Music Hall. While the now-demolished Washington Park School was located at its north end, a new School for Creative and Performing Arts currently stands across Twelfth Street at its south end.

The Butterfield Center is a New Brutalist structure in downtown Cincinnati. Designed by University of Cincinnati architecture professor David Lee Smith, the building promotes the structural and systems materials (concrete, ductwork, etc.) themselves by leaving them exposed.The Butterfield Recreation Center (also known as the Butterfield Nutrition Center, also known as the Butterfield Senior Center) was closed in 2004 as a result of push to cut $4.2 million from the budgets of several city departmentsIn 2005, design firm Libby Perszyk Kathman (LPK) purchased the Butterfield Center along with the Marcus Fechheimer House, with the vision to conjoin the buildings and create a new headquarters and meeting space. The Fechheimer House, which is also known locally as the Cuvier Press Club, also served as a part of the senior citizens' center from 1977 until 2004. LPK restored the Fechheimer mansion and commissioned Cincinnati firm FRCH Design Worldwide to plan the design for the connection of the two buildings.

The Abraham J. Friedlander House is a historic residence in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Erected in 1830, it features a facade three stories tall and three bays wide; although brick is employed in some of the walls, both the foundation and the walls are predominantly sandstone. At the time of its construction, the house was used as a multi-person home; its residents were multiple tradesmen in the house's early years. Among its uses since that time has been that of a law office.Many elements of the house betray a heavy Greek Revival influence; notable among them are the front entrance, which features a transom above the door and sidelights on either side. The overall theme of the house demonstrates that the architect, whose name is unknown, was influenced by leading period architect Minard Lafever, who wrote extensively on the various forms of Classical Revival architecture.In 1979, the Friedlander House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due both to its well-preserved historic architecture and to its connection with Friedlander himself. One year later, a short segment of Ninth Street was designated the Ninth Street Historic District and added to the National Register; the Friedlander House was named one of the district's contributing properties.

The Apostolic Bethlehem Temple Church is a historic church building in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A German Gothic Revival structure built in 1868, it was constructed as the home of the German Evangelical and Reformed Church, Cincinnati's oldest German Reformed Church. Founded in 1814, the church changed its name to "St. John's German Protestant Church" in 1874, although it remained in the German Reformed Church. This situation continued until 1924, when it departed for the American Unitarian Association and changed its name to "St. John's Unitarian Church." Little more than twenty years later, the congregation abandoned its old building, leaving it vacant until it was purchased by the present owners, a Pentecostal church.The church building is a rectangular two-story structure facing to the east. Worshippers enter through doors in a prominent tower that occupies the center of the façade. Such a tower is characteristic of the German Gothic churches that this church was built to emulate, as are the transepts on either side of the tower.Located at 1205 Elm Street, the church lies on the edge of the city's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Among the properties surrounding it are Music Hall, located at 1243 Elm Street, and a community park whose southwestern corner lies on the other side of Elm Street. In 1973, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its place in local history and because of its distinctive and well-preserved historic architecture. Ten years later, most of Over-the-Rhine was added to the Register as a historic district, and the Apostolic Bethlehem Temple Church qualified as one of its hundreds of contributing properties.

The Phoenix Building and Cincinnati Club are two historic buildings in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The membership of these two clubs was chiefly Jewish.Located at 812 Race Street, the Phoenix Building was constructed in 1893, designed by prominent Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford, the same architect who designed Cincinnati's Music Hall, and intended as the home of an organization for Jewish businessmen. It was listed in the National Register on January 11, 1985, and it is also recognized as a historic landmark by the Miami Historical Preservation Association. It was built in the architectural style of the Italian Renaissance, featuring Tiffany Glass windows and purchased by the neighboring Cincinnati Club, located at 30 Garfield Place, in 1911. The Cincinnati Club later sold the building in 1983. It later became a fine dining restaurant 1988–2008, and continues as a private banquet facility. The Cincinnati Club operated as a hotel and private businessman's club was also built by Garber and Woodward, Frederick W. Garber's firm. The two properties are separate buildings and each are currently used as a banquet hall for private events.

The Cuvier Press Club, located at 22 Garfield Place is a historic former house in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It is also referred to locally as the Fechheimer Mansion and as of 2006 served as the headquarters location for Cincinnati-based firm LPK.

The Hamilton County Memorial Building, more commonly called Memorial Hall, is located at Elm & Grant Streets, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The building is next to Cincinnati's Music Hall and across from Washington Park in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. It was built by the Grand Army of the Republic and Hamilton County in 1908, as a memorial to the military of the city and county. The building was built in the Beaux-Arts style. The building, including the Annie W and Elizabeth M Anderson Theater, is used for 300+ events per year. Constructed according to a design by Samuel Hannaford and Sons, the Memorial Building was intended to commemorate members of all branches of the U.S. armed services, as well as the pioneers who had established the United States. The hall contains a 556-seat theater that was designed for speaking, but is also used as a venue for concerts, film screenings and theatrical events. The theater's small size produces a sense of intimacy among the audience, and its acoustics are exceptional: words spoken on stage in a normal voice can easily be understood even at the back of the balcony.In late 1978, the Memorial Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for inclusion both because of its architecture and because of its place in the area's history. Its location on Washington Park places it in the historic district that embraces most of Over-the-Rhine, which was added to the Register five years after the Memorial Building was individually added.An $11 million renovation to the building was completed in December 2016 and allowed for the preservation of its historic character. Additionally, extensive improvements have been made to increase audience and performer comfort, modernize amenities, and enhance performances. The renovations include new, larger restroom facilities, a new HVAC system to accommodate year-round events, new and more comfortable seating, the addition of a contemporary catering kitchen and backstage crossover space for performers. Lastly, the acquisition of new equipment, audio/visual components, and technology to ensure the best possible event experience.
