One of Hamilton's more bland neighborhoods, the original section of Hyde Park was platted in 1919. The neighborhood took a long time to develop accounting for a hodgepodge of styles and sizes. Many of the homes have small details that give them individual charm, but about twenty different designs repeat in the oldest area. New areas have grown up around Hyde Park and mostly consist of modern ranches.

 

Verlyn Place on the other hand is more interesting. Almost all two-story, the small homes are quite awkward and unique. The neighborhood was annexed into Hamilton in 1931 and only consists of two main streets. The beautiful Millikin Woods Park abuts the homes and features neat octagonal stone shelter houses built by the WPA.

 

Both the neighborhoods are located on the Westside of Hamilton along Millville Avenue. I would say Hyde Park contains the oldest homes in Hamilton with attached garages, or at least right up there.

 

We will start with Verlyn Place:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The green home really fascinates me, cool awkwardness

 

 

Nice brick detail

 

 

Somewhat reminds me of one of the designs in the Villages of Daybreak in Bond Hill

 

Millikin Woods

 

 

 

 

Hyde Park and surrounding

 

I'm not much of a ranch fan, but these first three are pretty cute

 

 

The stone/brick and crispness look great

 

A remnant of an old estate, I can't recall the family name

 

 

 

 

I'm not a fan, but there are some neat stone details

 

 

 

 

Modest class

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luck of the Irish

 

This place scared me a little

 

 

 

 

Every Hamilton neighborhood seems to have at least one house with a Spanish influenced design

 

 

 

I'm a sucker for stone chimneys

 

Getting into the ranches...time to bail

 

 

Oh yeah, we are in Hyde Park

 

 

 

 

Boringness...

 

Okay, I kind of like this one

 

No.

 

 

 

Weird shape, but neat

 

 

 

An old farm house I'd presume, now squeezed in a row of boringness

It reminds me of parts of...well...anywhere Ohio, I suppose.  But good job, nonetheless.

^bah

Well done once again!

Some strange-looking hybrids in Verlyn Place!

 

Nice tour.

My city's Hyde Park is better!

Good thing we don't compare neighborhoods because they share similar names. Take a look at Gallery 10 if you want something to compare too, but remember Hamilton isn't close to the size city Cincinnati is, so the quanity is naturally going to be less. Hamilton doesn't try to compete with Cincinnati, in fact, they claim it.

I'm just messing with you man. I enjoy your pictures :]
