It incorporates an earlier 1840s farmhouse as its kitchen wing and sits on a 1.33 acre lot.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a fine example of Colonial Revival style in the Cincinnati area. Its size, two-story portico, hilltop setting and well-articulated classical details set it apart from the ca. 1920s Tudor-eclectic neighbors. It is also tied to Morris Bernheim, who developed the surrounding Green Hills and Far Hills subdivisions.","narrative":"Set on the brow of a hill in Cincinnati, this Colonial Revival house was built about 1912-1913 for Morris and Delia Bernheim, who moved from Louisville. The 2½-story brick main block, covered in white painted stucco, has a two-story portico with giant-order Tuscan columns and a Georgian Revival balustrade. Dentiled cornices, pilasters and a Palladian-arranged entrance add classical detail. An 1840s farmhouse was incorporated as the kitchen wing, and later additions include a 1967 library wing, a 1965 pool and a 1926 garage with apartment. The architect is unknown, though family legend names a Detroit designer. Morris Bernheim, an engineer and co-founder of the Alvey-Ferguson Company, later developed the Green Hills and Far Hills subdivisions around the property. The house is valued as a well-preserved example of its style, standing apart from its Tudor-eclectic neighbors, with a lawn and mature trees that give the columned facade a commanding setting.","period_of_significance":"1912-1913","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; described as in excellent condition, not greatly altered from its 1913 appearance, and well maintained.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.723373-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/83001977.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001977/e57654c8bc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001977/e57654c8bc-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bernheim_House_in_Cincinnati.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bernheim_House_in_Cincinnati.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988861","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernheim_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4894261"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/bernheim-house-83001977/"}
