"The Dayton Street Historic District area is a homogenous, built-up 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."
The street is one of my Cincinnati favorites. Yes, I have many favorites. Here are a few photos from a late morning walk down Dayton Street. I will mention only a few homes and buildings by name. But most have a history and are associated with prominent Cincinnati families like Hatch, Hauck, Hickenlooper, Karrmann, and Earnshaw.
812 Dayton Street - John Hauck House (1870; Facade from 1882)
830 Dayton Street - Hatch House (1851)
Lafayette Bloom Middle School (1915)
Heberle Elementary School (1929)

You might want to expand this tour and go more in-depth. heck, a couple of the buildings warrant their own posts.
Yeah, I agree. Some of those buildings are fantastic! I wanted a 'first blush' of the street. It has such great buildings. And the feel walking down the street is really like none other in the city.
Love it.
There is no place on earth Like Dayton Street. It is European with an American twist. It is Mary Poppins with a magical flair. It gives you a feeling that no other place can touch. It is a huge artwork that you have to see many times and still cant see all of it. Your spirit jump with Joy on Dayton Street.
