The picture of the present day Literary Club looks remarkably like Jacob Strader's house at the top of Lawrence in plate #4 of the Cincinnati Panorama and is in extremely close proximity. Unfortunately, the Literary Club is to the east of the Strader House location (just barely). Also, while the Literary Club was in existence in 1848, the building in the present day photograph was not constructed until several decades later. It's likely that it was intentionally designed to resemble the house of one of Cincinnati's most prominent citizens at the time.
