About Hyde Park
Where to stay in Hyde Park
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Hyde Park Square rents storefronts, not rooms. The neighborhood went up as a retreat for wealthy Cincinnati families and has stayed residential ever since, which leaves a visitor looking at the square for coffee and at the city for a bed. Take a Cincinnati hotel room and ride out for a morning around the square, or find a short-let among the streets behind the Cincinnati Tennis Club and give the neighborhood a slower look.
About Hyde Park
What are the main landmarks in Hyde Park?
The Mushroom House carries the oddest name on the list. St. Rose Church and the Hyde Park Methodist Episcopal Church account for the congregations, and a long run of private houses follows them: the August Bepler House, the Bernheim House, the Harry Milton Levy House, the John Henry Weston House, the Rudolph Tietig House and the Stephen Decker Rowhouse. Three entries break the pattern: the Cincinnati Tennis Club, the Drake Planetarium and Science Center and East End Park.
What is the history of Hyde Park?
Cincinnati's wealthy established Hyde Park as a retreat from the city, and the neighborhood they built has stayed residential, which is why so much of its record is made of private houses rather than institutions. The names on them are the families' own. The August Bepler House, the Bernheim House, the Harry Milton Levy House, the John Henry Weston House and the Rudolph Tietig House all survive under the name of an owner.
So does the Stephen Decker Rowhouse. No founding year is entered for Hyde Park, so the Hyde Park Methodist Episcopal Church and St. Rose Church do the dating instead.
Where is Hyde Park?
Hyde Park covers a residential quarter of Cincinnati, its streets of houses running out from the storefronts of Hyde Park Square.
