Proposed Local Historic Designation at 4030 Glenway Ave in West Price Hill

Background

At 4030 Glenway Avenue, the Brinker Building is one of few examples of architectural styles dominant in the early 20th-century transitional period that still remain in the Glenway Avenue “East” business district, as defined in the West Price Hill’s 2022 Belong Be Strong business district revitalization plan. The Brinker Building was erected in 1910, having seen little alterations in terms of use, footprint, roofline, and interior characteristics. The building is transitional in style, having been built at the tail end of the Victorian era when styles were shifting from heavy ornamentation and detailing to more simplified, pragmatic design. Elements of Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles are present on the façade. A typical mixed-use building of the era, the Brinker Building has been home to multiple residents and families as well as numerous small businesses over the past century.
