This English Arts & Crafts-style home was built in 1895 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was renovated a few years ago by the late architect Terry Brown, who created the unusual “Mushroom House” that I showed you yesterday, so of course there wouldn’t be anything “ordinary” about it! Here’s what it looked like when a few [...]
The Mushroom House (sometimes referred to as “The Tree House”) in Cincinnati, Ohio, was the home and studio of architect Terry Brown, who taught architecture and interior design at the University of Cincinnati. He worked on this house from 1992-2006 with his architecture students helping him add to it. They say it was “always growing.”
It’s [...]
After the first post I did about the Victorian Painted Ladies in Columbia Tusculum, Ohio, a Hooked on Houses reader wrote to tell me that she grew up in the historic neighborhood. Valerie sent me this old photo of the house her family lived in from 1953-1987. She writes:
It’s from the multiple listing from 1965 [...]
L ove looking at old houses? Me, too! So whenever there’s an Historic House Tour anywhere within driving distance, I’m there. I really enjoyed the walking tour through Columbia Tusculum, Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhood. Here are some of the photos I took as we walked through up and down the hilly streets, staring up at the [...]
It’s time to play one of our favorite games here at Hooked on Houses, called “One of These Rooms Is Not Like the Others…” It’s taken from the song on Sesame Street that goes like this:
“One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn’t belong! Can you tell which [...]

The neighborhood has rows of Victorian Painted [...]
Last weekend I went on an historic homes tour in Columbia Tusculum, the oldest neighborhood in Cincinnati. Columbia Tusculum was founded in 1788 on the hilly banks of the Ohio River, shortly before Losantiville (now known as Cincinnati) was settled. The oldest home still standing was built in 1804, so you can imagine how much [...]

We’ve arrived at the final stop on our Fantasy Open House Tour. This traditional home was built in 1910 and is notable for being the home of two former Terrace Park mayors, Charles Bruhl (1916-19) and Ray Allison (1957-59).
The current owners hired an architect to build an attached garage with a master [...]

Welcome to the third tour of this week’s Fantasy Open House in Terrace Park, Ohio. Today’s home is the oldest on the tour, built in 1830 by Joseph and Electra Highlands.
It originally had only four rooms–two up and two down, with fireplaces in each. Bathrooms, a modern kitchen, and additional bedrooms have [...]
This house on the Terrace Park Home Tour had me at its gracious front porch with stained beadboard ceiling, porch swing, and ceiling fans. The home of former town mayor Chuck Rockel, this grand old house was built over a century ago with stones gathered from the nearby Little Miami River.
Come on in and take [...]
