Most buildings date from 1850 to 1890.","why_significant":"The district is a largely intact nineteenth-century residential quarter once home to wealthy brewers and pork packers, with little modern intrusion. It contains notable Italianate houses such as the Hauck, Hatch and Hickenlooper houses. It is nominated for architecture and urban planning, with its greatest development between 1860 and 1880.","narrative":"Dayton Street in Cincinnati is the core of a district of about 67 acres bounded by Bank Street, Linn Street, Poplar Street and Winchell Avenue. The blocks hold detached nineteenth-century town houses, mostly masonry, two or three stories high, and Italianate in style. Most were built between 1850 and 1890, and the area was known as the residential quarter of wealthy brewers and pork packers. Remnants of cast iron fences, limestone retaining walls and lattice side yard gates survive. Notable houses include the John Hauck House, built in 1870 by George W. Skaats and later owned by brewer John Hauck, who rescued the Cincinnati Zoological Garden. The George Hatch House, probably built in 1851 or 1852, is described as the largest mansion in the area. The Andrew Hickenlooper House, built in 1871, represents the typical side hall plan. The district was listed for its architecture and for the cohesive character of its streetscape, which saw little modern encroachment. Most of its development took place between 1860 and 1880.","period_of_significance":"1860-1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition rated good to fair; buildings are mostly occupied, with preservation work in progress.
