2012-2022 Edgecliff Point (East Walnut Hills)
Significance: The six buildings comprising the southeast section of the Edgecliff College Campus – Edgecliff (Thomas and Mary Emery House), Maxwelton (Lawrence Maxwell House), the Theater (Ferris House), Carriage House, and the Greenhouses – were all excellent examples of stone Victorian architecture. All the buildings dated from between 1870 and 1890 and were united by the commonality of their construction material, a rockfaced stone. The original residents of these mansions were also notable 19th century personages, especially in philanthropic and judicial areas. Edgecliff, the Theater, and the Carriage House were all demolished in 1987; it can be presumed that the two greenhouses came down at the same time. Only the Ferris House and Maxwelton still remain standing. Due to its dramatic, wholesale loss of integrity, the Edgecliff Area should be delisted from the National Register. However, the Ferris House and Maxwelton should remain on the National Register as individually significant resources and a notable remnant of Edgecliff College.
NOTE: The address of 2200 Victory Parkway listed in the National Register nomination is incorrect.
