Betts-Longworth Historic District

Betts-Longworth Historic District is a local historic district in Cincinnati containing homes built over many decades with mixed architectural styles. The buildings display features of Renaissance Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne design from the 1800s onward.

The area became a center of early settlement in Cincinnati during the 1800s and includes one of Ohio's oldest brick residences built in the early decades of that century. The neighborhood earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its historical value.

The neighborhood preserves memories of early settlers through the homes they built and left behind for future generations. Walking through, you encounter buildings that reflect the families who shaped this community over two centuries.

The neighborhood spreads across several blocks in the West End and is best explored on foot at a relaxed pace. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for varying street widths and some uneven sidewalks throughout the area.

A Jewish cemetery from the early 1800s sits within the district boundaries and stands as one of the earliest burial grounds for this community west of Pennsylvania. This site reveals how religious groups established roots in Cincinnati during its founding years.
