Newbie here. I bought an old house in Clifton and am looking for some pictures from about the time it was built (around 1916). Does anyone know of a good online resource for old Cincy photos? I know I could go to the library, but I am lazy. I have an older house in Mariemont (1905) that I would like to have a photo of too. TIA

It is harder than you might think to find old pictures of a specific house.  You can go the Cincinnati Historical Society in the basement of Union Terminal and look through their photos.  They have them divided by neighborhood.

As the previous poster stated, it is difficult to find historic photos of specific homes unless they were very prominent or recently belonged to the original family. (which might still have some early photos) An online selection of photos by neighborhood is http://www.cincinnativiews.net/index.htm  Also the Cincinnati memory project has photos and postcards searchable by neighborhood and street name. http://www.cincinnatimemory.org
