Hi there. My husband and I live on the end of Deckebach by the apartments so don't live on Riddle but am very interested in this idea becoming a reality.


Does your last email mean then that you are going to follow up with the HCB as mentioned in William Forwood's email? Just curious. I never knew that the site of the apartments at one time was a mansion! That was very exciting to me. Looking at all of those web links was great.

Also, I'm including a suggestion for all users of uhna@xxxxxxxxxxxxx when sending out emails: to always include your personal email address, so not everyone is subjected to off-line conversations if you want to follow-up with the writer. Please don't take this the wrong way! I only say this b/c I've heard people complain about it and it is difficult if you want to communicate directly.

Regards.

The following three emails are the correspondents we have been having with the Historic Conservation Office, Department of Community Development and Planning, City of Cincinnati.



Much of Cincinnati’s history is ripped into rentals and then eventually slips into obscurity. If it weren’t for the economic limitations of this inner city, much of what makes Cincinnati what it is, would be gone by now. The idea of historic designation was born out of a hope for the saving the historic fabric of our neighborhood.



It is commonly known among Hollywood producers that Cincinnati has much of its older homes still intact and if they want to make an old time movie, they come here.



The second email seems to leave little hope for this to be a reality. But, I have seen neighborhoods with much of its fabric gone be restored and become historically significant. Our neighborhood is rather unique with its mix of architectures and the fact the homes bridge the transaction between the Victorian era and the modern arts and crafts movement. Case in point, my home. It is a very early arts and crafts bungalow.



We will continue with the dialog with the city.
