Its stair-step profile and simple Italianate detailing with sheet-metal cornices reflect the period's shift to manufactured architectural materials. It also has social history, including a 1964 rent strike and a later award-winning rehabilitation.","narrative":"Glencoe-Auburn is a self-contained hillside neighborhood in Cincinnati's Mount Auburn area, built between 1884 and 1891. Six detached brick buildings enclose four streets and hold 54 row houses and flats. Four are Italianate row house groups with simple bracketed sheet-metal cornices and carved sandstone lintels. A fifth looks almost identical, and the sixth, a Queen Anne building with a sandstone façade and conical corner turret, began as a hotel. Builder Jethro Mitchell apparently developed the complex as rental income, and residents were mostly middle-class workers. Later it declined, earning the nickname \"the Hole,\" and a 1964 rent strike by tenants led to its inclusion in city redevelopment. A 1970s rehabilitation won awards but altered the interiors heavily and removed some units. The complex was listed for its representation of nineteenth-century brick urban row house architecture. At nomination, the buildings were unoccupied.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1884","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Late Victorian / Italianate / Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Buildings are all unoccupied; residents were relocated by the City, and the grounds are unattended.
