It is now used as the Fairview Arts Center.","why_significant":"The form describes it as a strong corner building that contributes to the visual integrity of its neighborhood. It was constructed by the city as a police station in 1895 and is part of a thematic group of Cincinnati patrol stations. Its Romanesque design and rock-faced details are noted as distinguishing features.","narrative":"Built in 1895 by the City of Cincinnati, this police station at 355 McMillan Street was designed by Samuel Hannaford & Sons, with Charles Rosentiel as builder. It is a one-and-a-half-story brick building on a rock-faced ashlar foundation, with a rectangular plan, an asbestos shingle roof and a three-bay front. Romanesque features include arched windows and doors, a smooth rock-faced belt course, and two gabled wall dormers, one on the front and one on the side. A small chimney with a pilaster and acanthus leaf detail at its base rises from the interior. The building sits close to a busy intersection among buildings of mixed style, function and scale, and the nomination calls it a strong corner building that contributes to the visual integrity of the neighborhood. It now houses the Fairview Arts Center, whose use has slightly altered the doors and windows. It was listed as one of several Cincinnati patrol stations.","period_of_significance":"1895","architect_builder":"Samuel Hannaford & Sons (architect); Charles Rosentiel (builder)","architectural_style":"Romanesque","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as an art center (Fairview Arts Center); exterior condition listed as good, with slight alterations to doors and windows.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.943284-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/81000437.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/81000437/4a1683f695-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/81000437/4a1683f695-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Police_Station_No._7_in_Cincinnati.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Police_Station_No._7_in_Cincinnati.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985468","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_Station_No._7_(Cincinnati)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7209517"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/police-station-no-7-81000437/"}
