PHOTOS! Cincinnati Neighborhoods: Hartwell

[grasscat]

The Cincinnati neighborhood of Hartwell lies in the northern part of the city limits and was annexed in 1912. Once a rural area full of larger homes, it became increasingly urban after the turn of the century and eventually became more middle-income.

These areas are rarely seen except by local folks who like to explore.

Visit my web page: CINCINNATI TOURS: The Neighborhood of Hartwell. On it you will find nearly 100 photos, a map, aerials, demographics and a short history of Hartwell, as well as explanations and locations of each photo.

If you use a 56K dialup, please be aware. Maybe open up a new page and try the link and then come back to it later.

I also appreciate comments. You may reach me through PM (they are always welcome-good or bad), or through this thread. I like feedback and WILL take the time to reply.

In the meantime, here are some photos from the Tour to give you some insight into the area. Hopefully it will inspire you to check out my page, and then maybe to make a road trip.

The Hartwell map-yellow-shaded areas are unincorporated areas of Springfield Twp. which I included in this tour.
