Hoadley, George, Jr., House
Why it's listed
Built around 1900 on Grandin Road in Cincinnati's Hyde Park area, this three-story house combines a wood frame with a rough cement stucco covering over metal lath. Its Mission Revival features include a red curved-tile hip roof, shaped gable dormers, wide eaves and a square tower with a pyramidal roof. Inside are a central vestibule with an oak stair, Tiffany sconces and an octagonal second-floor room. The house was designed in 1899 by the Cincinnati firm Elzner & Anderson for attorney George Hoadley Jr. and his family, and it stayed in the family until 1988. It matters because it is the firm's earliest work in the concrete tradition that later brought it recognition, including the Ingalls Building. It is one of two houses by the firm with an exposed concrete exterior. A 1907 cement company publication featured it, and the Mission Revival design was unusually early for the Cincinnati area.
Significance in brief: The house is significant for architecture because it is the earliest example of the concrete building tradition for which Elzner & Anderson became known. It is one of only two houses by the firm with an exposed concrete exterior. It is also a very early and sophisticated example of Mission Revival style in Cincinnati.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
