Greenhills Historic District

Greenhills is a planned Greenbelt town in Hamilton County, Ohio, and its historic district covers roughly 300 acres in the southwest part of the village. The district takes in the streets and buildings put up by 1938, when the federal project was completed, and holds about 800 buildings and structures, 68 of them non-contributing because they were built later. Winton Road runs north to south through the center, with curving residential streets, cul-de-sacs and courts forming superblocks that leave generous green space. Housing includes single-family homes, duplexes and row buildings of three to ten units, mostly brick, stucco or asbestos siding. Many show International Style traits such as flat roofs, smooth surfaces and simple porch supports, while some in the A and B sections show Colonial Revival touches. A commercial center, farmers' market, community building, pool complex and town commons complete the original layout. None of the 676 original residential units have been lost.
