I gonna guess that street is Shilito Place.  So that would be the Loft's at Shilito Place.

 

edit:  It can't be the place I mentioned, the street runs the wrong way. 

It was taken from the P&G parking garage with Sycamore Place to the left.

 

My eyes hurt after viewing it.

 

This is Sycamore Place from the front:

 

Bingo Brutus and Monte!

Not sure that this prewar highrise even has a name, but discuss:

 

Its bugging me that I can't place it.

I always did like that Walnut Hills building.  It's so obscure.

Technically East Walnut Hills, east of Woodburn, between WH Taft and McMillan.  I think it's a retirement home.  This photo is from Cleinview Ave., a side street which has a staircase for one block causing two distinctly different sections of the street. 

How about this one?

 

here is a good one

 

Time Star building? judging from the printing press, stone, and style of carving it looks like that could be it

no but good guess

BDRUF, I've seen the building on your picture, but can't remember the exact location. Isn't it on the West side of OTR, not far from Memorial Hall, possibly on Central?

 

By the way, my name is Jerome and I'm new to Urbanohio. I've just been through the whole thread and I am really enjoying it!

BDRUF - Odeon Hall next to Music Hall

Okay for this one don't name the building in the distance, which is fairly obscure (but nevertheless a clue), but instead name the park in which this photo was taken, which is probably one of the least-known parks in the system:

 

thomasbw - Is it the Enquirer Building on Vine Street?

the picture is of a church in college hill, the park must be near, but not in mt airy forest

thomasbw - Is it the Enquirer Building on Vine Street?

 

no.  good guess.  everyone has identified the printing trades.

thomasbw - Is it too early to ask for another clue? : - )

north of liberty

I cheated. All you UC people should be ashamed. ;)

OK, UC gave it away. It's Blegen Library! I couldn't read the name correctly - it's (William) Claxton, the first printer to publish books in the English language.

yep, your turn

Here is my picture. Hopefully it's not too easy!

Here is a larger version of the picture.

 

 

 

Good call on Central Parkway and twelfth right before the wooden nickel

Okay time's up.  It's....

 

La Boiteaux Woods

Park Description

 

LaBoiteaux Woods is the jewel in an emerald crown of hundreds of acres of greenspace hills, valleys and wildlife corridor on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. This enchanting mixed mesophitic woodland is habitat to an interesting diversity of wildlife, which includes white-tailed deer, red and gray fox, raccoon, opossum, mink, sharp-shinned hawk, barred owl and eastern box turtle. Native wildflowers are a part of this natural community and color its landscape intensely in spring, summer and fall.

 

Serene and hospitable, rich in ecology and geological and human history, the preserve offers the visitor an easy escape from the pressures of the bustling city as well as valuable insights into the workings of nature, the historical aspects of the land. Four miles of hiking trails crisscross the preserve and ultimately wind down to its creek, past magnificent hardwoods.

 

A rustic nature center houses nature displays, animal mounts, live animals, and a small nature library. Experienced naturalists provide creative and enlightening nature programs. Focal to these programs is a guided nature interpretive walk through the preserve. Programs provide the public with a deeper understanding of ecology and a more profound sense of the area’s history.

>>>Okay to get there drive north on Hamilton Ave., just past Belmont turn right on I believe Hillcrest, then right again on Lanius and it's at the end of that street.  Nobody's ever there. 

 

 

 

Here is the answer for my picture. This lion's head is on the façade of the Scientology building on West Fourth Street downtown, close to Plum. Below is a picture from OTRFAN's 4th Street Stroll post (http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,7957.0.html). I don't know much about this building or the story behind the lion's head.

 

Is anyone interested in continuing this thread? Come on!

 

Not sure that this prewar highrise even has a name, but discuss:

 

 

Don't know if the building itself has a name, but it's Riverview Senior Center, 2538 Hackberry, built in 1930 - I dug that up to correct my thread views from the Overlook at Eden Park.  Here's one of those images labeled:

 

 

...and here's a map:

 

Blue = The Edgecliff

Yellow = River Terrace

Green = Riverview Senior Center

Orange = The Madison

 

 

This one is from a fairly well-known street, but I'm expecting you'll all need some hints:

my guess is eastern ave near linwood

Looking toward the Covington/Ludlow hills, don't know the building though?

I want to say this is in Dayton or Newport, looking north towards Cincinnati.

I'm gunna say lower Ludlow Ave. looking from the Cincinnati State area?

The street starts with a G, and this photo was looking more or less due south. 

gest?

^Got it.  That's where Gest turns south by Longworth Hall, so you're looking at Ludlow KY.  And btw could they have made the Queensgate streets any more confusing?  Dalton and Gest intersect each other twice! 

google streetview helps this game

237 Gest St., I don't know why but I could not let it go!

^

Yeah, it's a really nice view.  Here's a shot from the parking lot:

 

You can't really see it well, but if you look closelym you can see a single toned Thunderbolt siren. :)

This one would have been tough enough even if the file hadn't corrupted.  Here I am looking for what street this photo was taken from.  If anyone's familiar with Faraday near Fay Apartments, this street is a heavily wooded "country" street with relatively new retaining walls along it and a very steep climb up from...*hint*...either Beekman or State.           

 

Okay more than 24 hours passed without a response.  That means I win. 

 

It's the view from the top of Lehman Ave., one of the city's steepest climbs, and the final and perhaps most punishing climb in the 7 Hills run.  I was on foot, about 8 miles into a long photo walk, as you can see this kid didn't have the chops to bike it:   

 

Almost to the top...

Name the Building:

Walnut Hills Library Branch?

not quite

cumminsville library?

not quite

Corryvlle Carnegie Library.

Name the Building:

 

Easy.....  Corryville Public Library, which is such a beautiful classical Carnegie library.  8-)

Here's my photo trivia picture.  Name the neighborhood AND the Stairway's name.

 

 

I'd guess and say those steps go from Liberty to Milton Street, but I'm not certain, and I definitely don't know the name of the steps.

 

Here are a few more of the Corryville Carnegie Library:
