  • National Register of Historic Places – Listed October 4, 1989 (No. 89001453)

Significance: St. Peter’s Lick Run Historic District is the oldest remnant of a German Catholic settlement west of the Mill Creek in Cincinnati. This district contains the second oldest German Catholic church (c. 1840) and school (c. 1850) in the 19-county Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The district was named from a combination of St. Peter’s cemetery in the area and Lick Run Pike, the local thoroughfare. This district is evidence of an early German settlement on the west side of Cincinnati.
