St. Lawrence Church

St. Lawrence Church is a Gothic-style building located on one of Cincinnati's highest points in the Price Hill neighborhood, commanding views from its elevated position. The structure features a spacious interior layout designed to accommodate worship services and community gatherings.

The cornerstone for the current structure was laid in 1886, with the building officially dedicated as a completed church by the local archbishop in 1894. This makes it part of Cincinnati's late 19th century Catholic architectural development.

The church serves as a spiritual and social hub for the Price Hill neighborhood, drawing people from the surrounding community for worship and celebrations. It remains a visible landmark that shapes how residents experience their local environment.

The church sits on an elevated location in a residential neighborhood, making the walk from lower elevations somewhat steep, so arriving by car is often more practical. As an active parish, visitors should plan their visit around active service times and community events to be respectful.

The interior underwent significant modernization in 2024, including new flooring and electrical systems that improved climate conditions throughout the space. These updates show how the community continues to maintain the historic structure while keeping it suitable for contemporary use.
