Cincinnati-Style Italianate Cottages

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

This is a set of 15-foot wide Italianate Cottages, much like those that can be found in many neighborhoods within the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Northern Kentucky River Cities, and various neighborhoods within those entities. This is a smaller version of the Italianate hump-roof rowhouses, which were cheaper to build than the larger versions of the Italianate Rowhouse due to their smaller size. These houses were mostly built between 1850 and 1910. Most of the time, they are one full floor with two rooms o (one in the front, one in the back) separated by a stairway in the center, with a full basement and a sleeping loft on the second floor. The houses are either wood frame construction or brick, which sit on a brick or stone basement. Neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine, Northside, South Cumminsville, Camp Washington, Mt. Adams, Price Hill, Fairview, Corryville and Pendleton are full of these type of buildings. Covington, KY, Newport, KY, and other Northern Kentucky cities on the Ohio River are also home to substantial numbers of these houses. They often exist in various states of repair and renovation, which contributes to the colorful and dynamic cityscape of Cincinnati. Feel free to use this model as you see fit, on the condition that you contact me first so I know where it is being used (I'd love to see it wherever it ends up), and give me a mention or credit wherever it is used or published. #Cincinnati #Italianate #Victorian #HistoricArchitecture
