Greenhills Historic District

Greenhills is a planned Greenbelt town in Hamilton County, Ohio, and its historic district covers roughly 300 acres of the village's southwest portion. Built by a federal project completed in 1938, the town is laid out around Winton Road, with curving streets forming superblocks that leave generous green space. Short lanes, cul-de-sacs and courts follow the rolling terrain. The district holds about 800 buildings, of which 68 were built after 1938. Most are row houses, duplexes and single-family homes in a limited set of standardized designs, with flat roofs, projecting steel windows and simple porches that show International Style influence. Some earlier sections have slate gable roofs and brick walls with a Colonial Revival flavor. A town commons, a shopping center, a three-story Community Building, a pool complex and a farmers' market complete the plan. None of the 676 original residential units has been lost, which preserves the character of the original design.
