Posted April 4, 200916 yr Almost every neighborhood in Hamilton with housing from the 1920's includes examples of Spanish-influenced architecture.

'D' Street - Spanish Colonial Revival - 1920 - Rossville 4410 Pleasant Avenue - Spanish Ecletic - 1928 - Lindenwald 601-603 Prytania Avenue - Spanish Mission-Influenced - 1925 - Prospect Hill 1003 Gray Avenue - 1928 - Highland Park Original Facade :| 133 S. 'D' Street - Tuscany Villa-Romanesque (close enough) - 1922 - Rossville 325 Harrison Avenue - Spanish Colonial Revival - 1929 - Hyde Park 906 East Avenue - Spanish Colonial Revival - 1925 - Jefferson 3522 Pleasant Aveune - 1925 - Lindenwald 718 N.

April 4, 200916 yr Nice! Many of those look well cared for. I've always liked that style. In the 1920s the interurban lines in the Insull empire used it in their stations, few of which survive. I remember the former station in Bluffton, Indiana, repurposed as a Ford dealership in my youth. The South Shore station in Beverly Shores is the best, perhaps only, surviving Insull-era station I know of:
April 4, 200916 yr very interesting. i like that spanish style era. these are good examples of how flexible it is, it adapts/meshes well with other styles of those times, like deco. hamilton! looks like they were just as heavily into it as dayton was.

April 11, 200916 yr my friend used to live at 4410 hamilton avenue! i love that there is a separated garage and porch i gives it a great vibe. he didn't like it because it's next to a cemetery and he thinks it's haunted.
