Posted May 12, 200916 yr Cincinnati Preservation Association buying Hauck House http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2009/05/11/daily17.html The Cincinnati Preservation Association has signed an agreement to purchase the historic John Hauck House in the West End. The house has been closed for tours for the 2009 season, according to the Hauck House Museum Web site.
May 18, 200916 yr This is probably a good move for the neighborhood. I took some friends from Texas to the area and we walked all around the neighborhood. We found restorations going on all the way to the end at the freeway and surprisingly we found some on Freeman and Baymiller under restoration as well. Given its proximity to downtown and the realative compactness of the neighborhood compared to OTR, I think the areas turnaround is starting to turn the corner. If a couple of developers would come in and convert some of tht old industrial to lofts I think that might be the final cataylist the area needs. I'd really like to know what the plans are for that property.
August 4, 200915 yr CPA accepting proposals for purchase and utilization of historic Hauck House http://www.soapboxmedia.com/devnews/0804hauckhouse.aspx In May of this year the Cincinnati Preservation Association (CPA) signed an agreement to purchase the historic John Hauck House in Cincinnati’s West End neighborhood. The house is located along what was once known as “Millionaires Row” at 812 Dayton Street. The house, originally built in 1870, earned its name from John Hauck, a German immigrant that operated a nearby brewing company of the same name, who purchased the home in 1880. The stone-fronted Italianate style townhouse features fluted pilasters, arched windows and a crowning cornice. The house had previously been operated as a museum by Historic Southwest Ohio which saw its tours closed this season. Since CPA and Historic Southwest Ohio had once been one organization, CPA is granted first right of refusal on the property due to an existing deed. The purchase is listed as being sold on July 28, 2009 for $10 to CPA who is now looking for a qualified buyer with an appropriate end use in mind. The current appraised value for the property is $161,900 according to the Hamilton County Auditor. Other nearby historic structures have been threatened recently due to neglect or other reasons which led many preservationists to fear the fate of the historic Hauck House before the CPA purchase took place. The executive director for Cincinnati Preservation Association, Bobbie McTurner, states that the organization is currently accepting proposals for the purchase and utilization of the house. Proposals must be received by October 30, 2009 with a $30 application charge. McTurner also notes that a special Hauck House Proposal Review Committee will review all proposals for the sensitive historic structure.
August 5, 200915 yr The "best use" of this property is probably as a House Museum, although it would make a wonderful B&B with its close proximity to the downtown. Personally I'd love it as a personal residence, I could finally get all my antiques in one place!
August 5, 200915 yr The John Hauck Brewery's office is actually currently on the market as a single family residence down Dayton St. It's incredibly ornate inside and features the same expansive cellar and tunnels that you see under the other former brewery buildings in the area. For the right person, it would make an incredible home. http://www.sibcy.com/viewlisting.asp?mls=1184396&b=CIN&p=RESI&s=SFRD&m=1&sender=SearchResults&a=435-Dayton-St-City-OH-45214
