RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

12/20/2020

CINCINNATI

 Thought I would offer a time-line on some of the major buildings in The Queen City of the West.

These are the oldest.

1804 -  The Betts House  The oldest surviving building in Cincinnati.  I have a complete entry on the building dated 10/6/2019

1820 -  The Taft Museum  It is a wooden structure, built originally as a residence near city center

1841 -  Old St. Mary's Church  The oldest surviving church; built by German immigrants in the Over the Rhine neighborhood.  Old was added to the name of this Roman Catholic church in 1904 when another St. Mary's was opened in Hyde Park.  

1855 -  Findlay Market  Opened for business; was recently named one of the top ten markets in the world.

1861 -  Arnolds Bar and Grill  The oldest continuously operating bar in the city.  The building was operated as a warehouse from 1838 when it was built.  The original bar was upstairs of the warehouse.
