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 [...]

Are you a lookiloo? Yeah, I think you know I am one, too. Which is why I love visiting Lookiloos, a website for people like us who can’t get enough of house tours. This gorgeous 1872 Italianate Victorian is currently featured on Lookiloos, and I think I’m in love. From the front [...]
Lane’s End Farm has been a familiar sight around here with its purple-painted Victorian farmhouse since the 1860s. People come from miles around to buy dried flowers and floral arrangements from the Browne family on their “flower farm” outside Loveland, Ohio.
Now this house, gardens, barn, and carriage house that sit on 4 1/2 acres are [...]
As promised, today we’re taking a tour of this charming yellow-painted Victorian home in Columbia Tusculum, which was the first neighborhood founded in the Cincinnati area (then known as Losantiville) in the late 1700s. (To read more about it, check out yesterday’s post.)
It was on the market earlier this year and I found interior photos [...]

Somehow it had never occurred to me to show them to [...]
It’s time to show you the actual houses that were on the North Avondale Home Tour last weekend. This 1937 Normandy Manor, known as The Levine House, will be our first stop.
But first, to set the scene, I’m going to tell you how I embarrassed myself a little that day. I don’t know why, since [...]
Let’s continue our walking tour of North Avondale now and see what other interesting houses we can find– like this pink one with yellow trim, which looked like something out of a fairy tale.
Your favorite posts for the past week here at Hooked on Houses kind of surprised me. First of all, so many people stopped by to see A House as Big as Utah that my blog broke all records for most-visitors-in-one-day.
The second most popular post was one I wrote over a month ago that had never [...]
See the houses featured at the top of each page in the “Hooked on Houses” logo? I took that picture, as well as the one at the top of this post, in the historic St. Louis neighborhood of La Salle Park.
The area is a showcase of Victorian and Federalist architecture. By 1969, however, the area had become completely blighted, and the city requested [...]
