TOWER PARK - TOWER
TOWER PARK - MONO
To start off, this series does include the tower photos but I will be omitting them because there is a section dedicated to the tower itself.
The following photos are of 1890s former U.S. Army officer homes that are (as of writing) being renovated. This series is sort of like a time capsule because one point or another these homes will be owned by people. hopefully this reaches the future owner(s) of the homes. but who knows.
Here are some intresting facts from Cincinnati.com;
"The city (Fort Thomas) was able to broker a deal with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to buy the homes for $510,000 in 2016."
"Prices of the Alexander Circle homes behind Tower Park will range from $500,000 to $1 million, per the release."
"The houses still contain(ed) lead and asbestos but its being removed"
"Built in 1889, the homes once housed officers before they went off to fight in Cuba in the Spanish-American War."
Additional information about specific homes will be added below said home. Enjoy!
The Home featured above is (was) the Officers Quarters, this is one of the most featured homes and probably the most popular too. being the very center (of a U shaped home complex) it does stand out with its interesting balcony and windows. I would love to live in this house but I dont exactly have the (estimated) one million dollars to buy this historic relic. So I'll keep to just photographing it. But I mean, just look at the character this house has! definitely a place worth looking into.
