Greenhills Historic District

Greenhills is a planned village in Hamilton County, Ohio, laid out as a federal Greenbelt town and finished in 1938. The historic district covers about 300 acres in the southwest part of the village and includes the streets and buildings that existed by that year. Of roughly 800 buildings and structures, 68 are non-contributing because they were built later. A wide central road, Winton Road, is crossed by curving streets that form superblocks with generous green space, cul-de-sacs and courts. Housing includes single-family homes, duplexes and row buildings of three to ten units, many with standardized windows, doors and porches. Most show International Style traits such as flat roofs and smooth surfaces, while some have Colonial Revival touches. A town commons with the Community Building, a shopping center, a farmers' market and a distinctive pool complex complete the original plan. None of the 676 original residential units has been lost, though many roofs and exterior surfaces have been altered.
