Fifth Street in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, erected about 1885 and used as offices for the adjoining Fenwick Club.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the annex as a good example of a twentieth-century adaptation of a Victorian apartment building. It also ties the building to the Fenwick Club, a Catholic social and residential organization founded in 1915 and named for Edward Fenwick, first Bishop of Cincinnati. The club moved to its adjoining nine-story building in 1918.","narrative":"Built about 1885, this three-story building at 426 E. Fifth Street in Cincinnati served as the offices of the Fenwick Club. The club was a Catholic organization offering living quarters and social, recreational and cultural activities in an adjoining nine-story building. Walls are brick with limestone banding above a stone foundation, topped by a decorative cornice and a mansard roof with dormers and a central gable. A portico with Roman Tuscan columns, an entablature and a cast iron balustrade marks the entrance, the result of a remodeling, and opens into a wide corridor leading to the main club building. The club was founded in 1915 by Rev. Charles E. Baden and named for Edward Fenwick, first Bishop of Cincinnati. It moved to this site in 1918. The annex was regarded as a good example of a twentieth-century adaptation of a Victorian apartment building. State officials later reported that it was demolished in 1981.","period_of_significance":"1880's (annex building); 1918-19 (Fenwick Club main building)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian apartment building adapted in the twentieth century; mansard roof with Roman Tuscan portico","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and occupied, though altered, at the time of nomination.
