Cincinnati Observatory Historic District

Observatory Place (Hyde Park)

  • National Register of Historic Places – Listed September 20, 1978 (No. 78002080)

Significance: The focal point of the district is the National Historic Landmark Cincinnati Observatory, located at the end of the Observatory Place cul-de-sac.  However, this district is also significant from an architectural point of view. The residences on either side of Observatory Place evolved from 1874 to 1916 and the result is a small streetscape that has several different styles. The Cincinnati Observatory exhibits a Greek Revival style while the residences exude styles including Victorian, French Second Empire, and Classical.
