Pinecroft, Historic district in Mount Airy, Cincinnati, United States.
Pinecroft is a historic estate in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, featuring a Tudor Revival mansion surrounded by landscaped gardens. The property and its grounds were designed by architect Dwight James Baum, and the estate is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Powel Crosley Jr. built the estate in the early 1930s as his private residence and used it until his death in 1961. The property later changed hands and was eventually recognized for its architectural and landscape value.
Pinecroft is used today for private events and gatherings, and visitors can walk through the gardens surrounding the mansion. The Tudor Revival style of the building, with its steep rooflines and half-timbered details, draws people with an interest in early 20th-century architecture.
The property is managed by Cincinnati Preservation and is available for private events and rentals. A visit can be paired with a walk through the Mount Airy neighborhood, which offers quiet residential streets and nearby green spaces.
Powel Crosley Jr. was behind one of the first affordable refrigerators sold in the United States, a product that changed how ordinary households stored food. His name also lives on in Crosley Field, the former Cincinnati Reds ballpark he once owned.
