Posted July 24, 200618 yr I LOVE these brackets and cornices and eaves. This IS Italianate (mostly).... strength, color..... character (sorry, these have probably been done to death, but here's my take..) some simple power no one likes graffiti, but this is 4 stories up and hanging off the side no cornices - i just love this little guy If I may - it is a joy to see these old gals coming back on line. You can almost hear them singing - shouting, with joy and relief through there long shut but now opened windows. You can smell the musty air leaving and the sun and fresh air rushing in. God - it is great. that is a deep hole this one is actually my favorite - too bad it is so dark findlay market schwing Things are "looking up" in OTR - you should too! peace
July 24, 200618 yr I dig those things too, but somehow always forget to notice them on buildings! So thanks for this set; nice work as usual!
July 24, 200618 yr I KNEW you'd do a thread like this sooner or later! And you did not disappoint. Wonderful job. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 24, 200618 yr Very cool thread! I'm a sucker for italianate cornices and you've shown them very well.
July 24, 200618 yr Ahh yes....the shot of Findlay Market makes me wish for all of OTR to be that nice and awesome! Well done chap.
August 31, 200618 yr Love the Victorian era - Cincinnati is full of this type of ornamentation. Anyone have shots of the true Craftsman and Bungelow Houses that still exist? How about inside the Bungelow's? In Northside, the Bungelow houses didn't have garages. The Craftsman houses (as I remember my aunt's house in Springdale on Kemper Rd.) at least had a garage in the back of the house. All made of wood, of course. sh
September 1, 200618 yr To me, Over The Rhine is the epitome of Cincinnati. It's soooo authentic - I love it!Architecturally speaking, it represents everything the city could be, should be, and once was. I love the fushion of architecture and history. My heart is sad to see it in this condition. It depresses me so much. The best part of the city is in the shittiest condition. My god, if OTR ever became livible I'd be among the first down there.
