It holds the second oldest German Catholic church and school in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The church and school were the earliest institutions of the German Catholic community, showing the importance of religion in its life.","narrative":"Three stone buildings and a frame shed along Queen City Avenue in Cincinnati's South Fairmount neighborhood make up this small district. A one-story church from about 1840, a two-story hip-roofed school from the early 1850s and a stonemason's house from about 1849 sit close together beside the sidewalk. The church began as a residence and served a German Catholic congregation from 1843 to 1869. The house was built by Nicholas Schwab, a German stonemason, who lived there until 1881. All three stone buildings now serve as homes, and stucco applied before 1940 is the main change to their rough-faced stone walls. The group is the oldest surviving trace of a German Catholic settlement west of the Mill Creek. Its church and school are the second oldest of their kind in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, and they date from a formative period for the city's German Catholics, when German immigration was rising sharply. The shed is counted as noncontributing.","period_of_significance":"1844-1869","architect_builder":"Nicholas Schwab (stonemason's house, 2145 Queen City Avenue)","architectural_style":"Other: 1-story Gable Front; 1-story Side Gable; 2-story Hip Roof","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Buildings are in good condition; the three stone buildings are used as residences, and the stucco coating applied before 1940 is the only major alteration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.680995-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/89001453.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89001453/e2e193b015-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89001453/e2e193b015-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St._Peter%27s_Lick_Run_Historic_District.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St._Peter%27s_Lick_Run_Historic_District.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989225","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Lick_Run_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7591396"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/st-peters-lick-run-historic-district-89001453/"}
