A New Years walk is turning into a bit of a tradition with my son. I love the quiet companionship on a cold day walk.
First came upon the recently demolished 1314 Vine Cornice laying on ground
Stones intended for Washington Park to match old stones around perimeter
SWC Walnut and Mercer, demolition happening this week
Somehow never noticed this doorway before
This nondescript building on E 14th hides an upscale residence
This is a very strange building, seen from Findlay Street is kindof an annex to the building at the corner of Vine and McMicken
[where: 3 West McMicken, Cincinnati, OH 45202](rear)
Vacant and condemned buildings owned by a church located in Washington DC,,, What a waste..
Northern end of Findlay Playground
Two vacant houses on the northernmost stub of Republic Street
private alley between Vine and McMicken
Only a few buildings on lonely Kirk Alley, heading up to Ohio Street Steps
This single family house with an unusually huge front yard at 104 W Clifton backs up against Kirk Alley above. It is for sale for $110K
Steps that once went somewhere
Looking back down 100 steps, Ohio Street
Mulberry in the distance. I was reminded of the area to the left which a commenter on a previous post said was called Little Bethlehem.
When at Adriatico's last week, I noticed that their delivery map listed some sub-neighborhoods that I had never heard of, including Little Bethlehem and Jerusalem...The blue line is zip code boundary
The same map had Frenchman's Corner near Brighton Corner (but now under I-75) and Rohs Hill at the top of Straight Street
Civil war era house at high point on Ohio Avenue in bad shape.
(where: 2210 Ohio Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45219)
It had been a gray cold day, but just as the sun set, it broke through the clouds
On the way back down the hill, we found fossils on the steep cliffs of West Clifton Ave.
Son really wants to climb this cliff. Maybe next time.

The great Cincinnati sketcher Caroline Williams was very fond of Little Bethlehem. There are a number of fine drawings in her collections. Worth looking up
Welcome back, in whatever form (regular posting or not) it takes.

Reminds me of when my father, mother and I (sometimes my older brother) would take a walk together after dinner up and down the cul-de-sac where we grew up. It may not have been every evening but it seems like it was now. My father and I would walk around the back yard after dinner too - we did that often - to see how all the trees were doing.
I had never thought about it from his perspective until now.
Thanks.
For what it's worth: that cliff is VERY unstable and not well suited for climbing.
I never noticed that house set back on W. Clifton Cool!

I love this part of the city. That house on W. Clifton is next to the house my son lived in until this past summer while a student at UC. He has friends still living in an apartment there. Perfect distance from school and town. I was fascinated by that house next door and the way it sits. If we were in the market for a new home...
Just found your blog and am your newest follower.
More information on the two houses on the stub on Republic:

I am hoping to "dig" into the history of a few of the other buildings your posted.
