It sits within the Lytle Park Historic District.","why_significant":"The inventory form notes the building for its Classical design, including a deep stone cornice and frieze and a pair of two-story fluted Ionic columns in the recessed central bay. It was built as a combined police and mounted patrol station in 1911 and has kept that function. It is part of a thematic group of Cincinnati patrol and police stations.","narrative":"Built in 1911 at 314 Broadway, this two-story brick building was designed as a combined police and mounted patrol station. It stands on the eastern fringe of Cincinnati's Central Business District, next to three nineteenth-century townhouses, and lies within the Lytle Park Historic District. The design is Classical. A deep stone cornice and frieze run along the flat roofline, and a pair of fluted Ionic columns, two stories tall, are set into the recessed central bay. Stone trim and angular ornamentation frame the windows and doors. The front has three bays, and the plan is square, with a stone foundation and a basement. The architect and builder are not recorded. The building has kept its original purpose and continues to serve as the Second District Police Station, with its interior and exterior both in good condition. It is one of several Cincinnati patrol and police stations grouped together as a thematic set of resources.","period_of_significance":"1911","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still operating as the Second District Police Station; condition listed as good inside and out.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.195746-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/81000655.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/81000655/9f48d6f116-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/81000655/9f48d6f116-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":null,"credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:District2PoliceStation.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown author</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:District2PoliceStation.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985474","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_Station_No._2_(Cincinnati)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7209513"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/police-station-no-2-81000655/"}
