I want to know what the Cincinnati preservation community has to say about this. Was there any concerted effort to preserve these structures? Hasn't any developer stepped forward with interest in rehab? I think this is a travesty, and Cincinnati will lose a piece of its soul when this comes down.

I know this is an old thread but this needs to be said to out of towners, maybe someone with balls to fight preservation battles might actually read this and move there:
Cincinnati's preservation community is weak. They never win at anything, the Gamble House was even torn down (of Proctor and Gamble fame)! (Though at least they fought it). For a city with the history Cincinnati has it seems the whole culture could give less than 2 sh!ts about its assets there seems to be far more interest in bland suburban living down there than actually preserving its wonderful urbaninity. They'd much rather put up ugly suburban style crud to replace these irreplaceable buildings too. Its an f-ing shame!
