It is described as one of the few surviving Queen Anne buildings in Cincinnati and the only example of its style on the city's east side. It is also considered individually eligible because the surrounding streetscape has lost integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1896 at 2600 Woodburn Avenue in Cincinnati's East Walnut Hills neighborhood, this large Queen Anne building combined apartments with ground-floor commercial space. Valentine Eckert, who ran a notions business with his brother Joseph, had it constructed as investment property. Its walls are deep red brick banded with sandstone, with varied lintels at each floor, a Romanesque-influenced entrance frontispiece on the south side, and a cast-iron storefront along the west side. A slate mansard roof carries gabled dormers, tall corbeled chimneys and a conical cap with finial at the rounded corner. The nomination calls it one of the few surviving Queen Anne buildings in Cincinnati and the only one of its style on the east side. The interior has been heavily altered, though a turned balustrade, simple mantels and some paneled doors survive. After years sitting idle and deteriorated, it was being rehabilitated into fifteen rental units and one office at the time of listing.","period_of_significance":"c. 1896","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne (Victorian)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Vacant and deteriorated for a number of years, then being renovated under the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation for fifteen residential rental units and one office.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.366677-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/83001981.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001981/66b4bf4f25-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001981/66b4bf4f25-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EckertBuilding.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:EckertBuilding.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988957","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckert_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5332889"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/eckert-building-83001981/"}
