The 938-946 row was built over several years as Madam Fredin's Eden Park School, a girls' school whose principal had a national reputation as a French scholar and educator.","narrative":"Two stone row houses on Morris Street face Eden Park in Cincinnati and mark the south-west corner of the Walnut Hills Historic District. The six-unit row at 922-932 is built of smooth-faced coursed limestone, with towers, mansard roofs, porches and iron balconies, and adapts a symmetrical design to a steep site, with its western two houses sitting about eight feet lower. The row at 938-946 uses rock-faced ashlar, slate roofing and varied rooflines in a Gothic-inspired style, though its eastern wing is missing. It was built over several years as Madam Fredin's Eden Park School, a private girls' school offering primary, preparatory and collegiate courses taught with French spoken in the household. Madam Fredin and her husband August, the French Consul, contributed to Cincinnati's educational and cultural life. The buildings were listed as outstanding examples of High Victorian row house design, built around 1880, and were vacant when nominated.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"High Victorian; Victorian Gothic and Gothic Revival (\"stone castle\")","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as vacant/unoccupied at the time of nomination; plans called for renovating 938-946 Morris Street as twelve apartments.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.196829-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79001858.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001858/9de96d64d7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001858/9de96d64d7-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Madam_Fredin%27s_Eden_Park_School.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Madam_Fredin%27s_Eden_Park_School.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989061","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madam_Fredin%27s_Eden_Park_School_and_Neighboring_Row_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6726232"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/madam-fredins-eden-park-school-and-neighboring-row-house-79001858/"}
