Richard H. Mitchell House, Historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Richard H. Mitchell House in Cincinnati is a two and a half story building made of large stone blocks with a slate roof, porch, and turret. The structure combines different architectural features into one cohesive composition.
The house was built in 1892 as a gift from Robert Mitchell to his son Richard, symbolizing the success of their furniture business. After decades as a private residence, it was later used by St. Thomas Aquinas Church and then by a Montessori school.
The house shows how wealthy families in Cincinnati lived and built during the Gilded Age. The grand arches and stone railings reflect the wealth and taste of that period.
The building is an example of late 19th century residential architecture located in a Cincinnati neighborhood. Visitors should know that it is currently used as a school building, so access may be limited.
Architect Samuel Hannaford blended Romanesque Revival, Queen Anne, and Neo-Renaissance styles into one single building. This mix of different styles makes the house unusual for its time.
