It is distinctive among Emery apartment buildings for its Dutch Colonial Revival design and unusual treatment of the gambrel roof. Its preservation is also considered important to the stabilization and regrowth of Avondale.","narrative":"Haddon Hall is a four-story apartment building at 3418 Reading Road in Cincinnati's Avondale neighborhood, completed in 1909. Wood joists rest on brick bearing walls, and a gambrel roof caps the structure. Stone jack-arch lintels top the aligned windows, Palladian-style openings appear in the fourth-floor end walls, and a wood-columned Greek Doric portico shelters the main entrance. It was built by Thomas Emery's Sons, a real estate company reported to be the first to build apartment houses in the Cincinnati area, and the firm of Joseph G. Steinkamp and Brother is believed to have been the architect. The building is considered one of the finest of the monumental apartment buildings the Emerys built in the city's suburbs, and it stands out for its Dutch Colonial Revival style and distinctive gambrel treatment. When documented in 1982 it was vacant and deteriorated. Weather and vandalism had destroyed the interior, and rehabilitation was being planned.","period_of_significance":"1900-1909","architect_builder":"Thomas Emery's Sons, Bldr.; Jos. G.
