Bounded by Central Avenue, W. 5th Street, Plum Street, and McFarland Street (Central Business District)
Significance: The West Fourth Street Historic District survives as the finest intact remnant of Cincinnati’s turn-of-the-century downtown streetscape. It reflects the height of expansion of residential, wholesale, retail and industrial activities within the Central Business District between 1870 and 1927. The architecture is primarily Italianate, Second Renaissance Revival and Commercial.
On August 13, 1979 the boundaries of the West Fourth Street Historic District were amended to include an area generally bounded by W. 5th Street and Perry Street between Central Avenue and Plum Street and 4th Street between Central Avenue and Race Street (No. 79001861).
