Race Street Historic District, Historic district in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Race Street Historic District contains 24 buildings along Race, West 6th, West 7th Streets, and Shillito Place, covering 30 acres of urban space.

The district earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, preserving structures that showcase Mid 19th Century Revival and Late Victorian architecture.

Former commercial buildings, including the John Shillito Company department store, now serve as residential spaces while maintaining their original architectural features.

Visitors can access the district through guided walking tours arranged by local historical societies, which explain the architectural and commercial evolution of the area.

The restored skylit atrium of the former John Shillito Company building, designed by Samuel Hannaford, remains a central architectural element of the district.
