It was built by Thomas Emery's Sons, whose real estate developments shaped downtown Cincinnati. It stands on a corner with two other Hannaford-designed buildings, on a street with some of the city's best nineteenth-century residential architecture.","narrative":"Rising five stories at 105-111 West Ninth Street in downtown Cincinnati, the Saxony Apartment Building was completed in 1891 to designs by Samuel Hannaford & Sons. Thomas Emery's Sons built it as part of the family's extensive real estate activity; the Emery Estate, founded in 1841, became one of the city's most prominent developers. The brick building shows Queen Anne influences, with a symmetrical front above the second story, brick pilasters, two three-story frame bay windows, stone pediments, beltcourses, keystones, dormers and round windows. The ground floor of stone and cast iron is largely unaltered, and the name Saxony appears over the Ninth Street entrance. Small semicircular balconies with wrought iron railings appear on both street facades. The Saxony sits on a corner with two other Hannaford buildings, the Phoenix Club and the Brittany. It still serves as apartments and commercial space and was included among the thematic resources representing Hannaford's work.","period_of_significance":"1891","architect_builder":"Samuel Hannaford & Sons (architect); Thomas Emery's Sons (builder)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne influences","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used for apartments and commercial space; interior and exterior condition both listed as good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.044185-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003083.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003083/8cb65a8531-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003083/8cb65a8531-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saxony.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saxony.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"80003067","name":"Ninth Street Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/ninth-street-historic-district-80003067/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985382","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxony_Apartment_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7428862"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/saxony-apartment-building-80003083/"}
