Once the home of thousands of German immigrants,
Over-the-Rhine maintains its turn-of-the-century aura. The neighborhood
earned its name because residents had to cross over the canal that ran through
downtown, reminding them of the Rhine River in their homeland.
Located on the northern edge of the Central Business District, Over-the-Rhine
is the largest national historic district in the nation. Numerous architectural
styles are at play on the streets of Over-the-Rhine, including the largest
collection of urban Italianate buildings in the United States.
Over-the-Rhine's Main Street is home
to dozens of art galleries, trendy bars and restaurants making it
one of the city's fastest growing entertainment districts. Findlay
Market is an authentic, European-styled open-air grocery where locals
buy fresh meats, produce, and confections. The area is in the process
of expanding to encompass a colony of artists and design studios.
Pendleton is the eastern extension of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood,
well-known for the many artists who call the area home. Within walking
distance of the art galleries, trendy bars and restaurants of the
Main Street entertainment district, Pendleton is an enclave of bohemians,
artists and design studios. |
