It contains a cohesive set of 1920s-1930s buildings by various architects, along with parks and community facilities built as part of the original plan. The district also includes the earlier Eliphalet Ferris House, already individually listed.","narrative":"Mariemont is a planned garden city community in Hamilton County, Ohio, laid out in 1921 by planner John Nolen. Its street plan radiates from the Town Center, with curving residential streets, cul-de-sacs leading to housing clusters, and a landscaped east-west highway. The district is mainly residential but also includes commercial, industrial and recreational areas and large open spaces. Notable buildings from the 1920s and 1930s include Memorial Church, designed by Louis E. Jallade to resemble an old English parish church, and the Dale Park apartments and group houses in Colonial, Tudor and half-timber styles. Other landmarks are the Mariemont Inn, the Recreation Center, Mariemont High School, the Dogwood Park carillon tower and Miami Bluff Park. The district also contains the c. 1807 Eliphalet Ferris House, separately listed. Together these elements show how housing, civic buildings and parks were coordinated under one comprehensive plan.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John Nolen (street plan); Louis E.
