The Port has been doing great work on preserving the unique neighborhood of Sedamsville! Thank you The Port - Cincinnati for the great preservation work and leading my example.

Happy Historic Preservation Month!

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Did you know? Sedamsville was founded in 1795 along the Ohio River and the Sedamsville River Road Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through stabilization and rehabilitation of properties throughout the neighborhood, we're proud to help keep that legacy intact. ๐ŸŒฟ Even the neighborhood sign is getting some love!

Nikkiโ€™s impact can be felt across Cincinnati Preservationโ€”from carefully stewarding the Preservation and Local History Library at the Hauck House, to keeping office operations running smoothly, to stepping up at events large and small with calm reliability and heart. Her dedication has become part of the fabric of our work, and this recognition celebrates the time, care, and leadership she continues to give so generously.

๐Ÿ“– Join us for Terminology Tuesday, a series focused on architectural terminology. Each post provides a clear definition of a commonly used building term. A ๐ ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž roof has two sloping sides that form a triangle at each end. There are many variations on gabled roofs, some may have gabled ends where the wall extends up to the point of the triangle, such as illustrated in the historic Mt. Adams school building.
