A WHOLE HOUSE RENOVATION PROJECT
Working with renowned local architect Jose Garcia, the homeowners engaged the general contracting firm Dallman and Bohl for a significant home renovation project in 2011. Floors were leveled, new steel support beams were placed in the basement of the house, and new concrete floors were poured. Convinced by Garcia to use the finest and most durable products, the roof was entirely rebuilt with slate and copper, new copper gutters and downspouts were added, all new quarter sawn oak floors were installed throughout the first floor, and the back yard patio was created using locally sourced brick. The entire project took over a year, and was done with the utmost respect and care for the existing house.

ABOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT
The Observatory Historic District began its development in 1873 with the construction of the Cincinnati Observatory building by renowned architect Samuel Hannaford. This, along with the development of new and improved transportation systems to Cincinnati’s suburbs is what prompted the initial development of the area. Named for the prestigious community in New York of the same name, it was the intent of brothers Charles and John Kilgour to attract property owners of a higher profile. Thanks to the efforts of the “Mornington Syndicate,” a group of businessmen who helped develop the rural area, plans were set up and restrictions put in place to keep out commercial and industrial development. This allowed John Kilgour to successfully promote the area as desirable to live in with an easy commute to the city of Cincinnati. Minimal changes to the neighborhood took place throughout the years. The area remains a fashionable residential neighborhood with a variety of architectural styles and an overall visual cohesiveness. The characteristics that unify the district include: similar building height/scale, materials used, setbacks from the road, lot sizes, placement on lots and open space.
