These are all excellent photographs! Great work!!

Great thread! I don't recognize a lot of these, so thanks for sharing.

 

Does it basically go Lower Price Hill, OTR, Mt Auburn, Walnut Hills?  What is picture #4, and where is the 7th from the bottom taken?  I'm thinking the latter is Walnut Hills, but I can't tell, and it looks like the center of the pic has some pretty decent infill that I haven't heard about.

7th from the bottom is from Walnut Hills going down to Eden Park.  #4 is St Aloysius Orphanage in Bond Hill.

 

Great shots, Ink.

Yes, with a little Price Hill/Covedale and South Fairmont thrown in between LPH and OTR.

Nice job, ink--eye candy for any Cincinnati lover!  Deep, rich coloration added immensely to this grouping of eclectic buildings.  (wouldn't mind at all if some winter Queen City photographs followed these...)

Delightful! Cute kitten, too; I wonder what happened to its tail.

I was visiting family in Virginia recently, and I met an older lady (late 70's) who grew up in Cincinnati & left in 1950. She told me she lived in Walnut Hills & asked if Peebles Corner was still the center of town- She said it used to be the most popular place to be- all kinds of bars and clubs and people constantly out. I've always loved that building, and wonder what that corner had looked like in its heyday.

I bet she would be mortified to see what the district has become.  Especially with the teardowns going on now :(

Cincinnati's architecture is most impressive! The city actually looks quite liveable in these shots! Thanks for sharing!

STREETCARS!

Wow, looks like something out of Chicago or New York... :(

 

I looked at it today on google maps, and where that amazing Italianate with all the billboards on it was, is now a low rise suburban National City bank with drive through, proving yet again that Cinciannati has over the years destroyed its best asset, its urbanity.
