Renaissance Revival architecture in Cincinnati
Renaissance Revival draws on the Italian palazzo, with a rusticated ground floor, round arched windows and a strong horizontal cornice. American architects used it for banks, clubs and libraries between 1880 and 1930.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1861 to 1865. 11 stops, 1.9 miles end to end. Of the stops, 3 are historic districts rather than single buildings.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Oct 16, 2026.

Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops.
