The '''Dayton Street Historic District''' |
The '''Dayton Street Historic District''' is located in the Old [[West End, Cincinnati|West End]] neighborhood of [[Cincinnati]], [[Ohio]], United States. It was once known as "Millionaires' Row" for the prominent industrialists who resided in a row of opulent mansions built between 1850 and 1890.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VKB9g0oXvA4C&q=cincinnati+urban+core&pg=PA103 | title=Contested ground: Collective Action and the Urban Neighborhood | publisher=Cornell University Press | date=1991 | accessdate=2013-05-26 | author=Davis, John E. | pages=103| isbn=0801499054 }}</ref> It is bounded by Bank Street, Poplar Street, Linn Street, and Winchell Avenue.

The Dayton Street Historic District area is a homogenous, series of blocks, containing a group of representative 19th century detached town houses. The area was once the 19th century residential area for wealthy beer brewers and pork packers of Cincinnati. The majority of the buildings were erected between 1850 and 1890, and they are generally masonry, two- or three-story [[Italianate]] style homes. Low decorative [[iron fences]] and stone posts add to the area's strong sense of time and place.[http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cdap/pages/-6743-/] |

The Dayton Street Historic District is located in the Old West End neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It was once known as "Millionaires' Row" for the prominent industrialists who resided in a row of opulent mansions built between 1850 and 1890.[2] It is bounded by Bank Street, Poplar Street, Linn Street, and Winchell Avenue. The district was designated and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 1973.
Due to its location well north of Cincinnati when the city was founded, the district occupies land that was originally used by small farmers, both for crop fields and for livestock pasture; some of the massive stockyards in the city once known as "Porkopolis" were located nearby, although even farther from the original city. As the city grew, wealthy residents built country houses within the district's boundaries, beginning c. 1840 and continuing until the Civil War era. Significant development began c. 1860 and continued for the next two decades. Typical buildings erected during this time are multi-story Italianate residences constructed of brick or stone, similar to townhouses but detached. At the neighborhood's height, the residents were wealthy businessmen, most of whom were active in the city's meatpacking and brewing industries, and many of these men were careful to beautify their homes with elements such as stone retaining walls and fences of cast iron; while much of the stonework and ironwork has been lost, large amounts of both remain.[3] The entire historic district embraces approximately four hundred contributing properties, almost all single-family houses, although there are occasional exceptions; the former Police Station No. 5 on York Street was included.[1] The Hauck House Museum is located at 812 Dayton Street and the Mayor George Hatch House is located at 830 Dayton Street.
