Walking Tour: Upland Place

Walnut Hills

It is now official; I am stalking Walnut Hills. My love affair is now borderline obsession. However with my gushing, I may have successfully lobbied for a full ARCHITREKS walking tour of Walnut Hills in 2010! We shall see.

Upland Place is part of the Upland Local Historic District which also includes parts of the nearby streets of Ashland, Fleming, Grandview and East McMillan. An enclave of Victorian Architecture, the housing styles range from Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Exotic Revival, and Chateauesque.

Here are some of my favorite or most notable buildings.
