Location: 356 Bryant, Cincinnati, Ohio Coordinates: 39°8′44″N 84°31′17″W / 39.14556°N 84.52139°WCoordinates: 39°8′44″N 84°31′17″W / 39.14556°N 84.52139°W Area: less than one acre Built: 1900 Architectural style: Second Renaissance Revival Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 82003580[1] Added to NRHP: June 10, 1982 The Moses Goldsmith Building is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1900,[1] it was originally owned by Moses Goldsmith, the president of a firm that sold notions; rather than living in the house, Goldsmith built it for investment purposes, renting it to others.[2]
A brick house with elements of sandstone and limestone,[3] the Goldsmith Building has been ranked as a fine example of Renaissance Revival architecture. Distinctive elements of its design include prominent string courses and molding courses, plus a large loggia.[2]
The Goldsmith Building was erected in the Clifton neighborhood at a time when that neighborhood was expanding greatly. Large numbers of prosperous members of Cincinnati society built grand homes in the neighborhood, making it a highly distinctive portion of the city. The house did not long stay in the Goldsmith family; Moses died within a few years of its construction, and his heirs sold the property in 1912.[2] After Goldsmith's time, it was converted from a single-family residence to a multi-family residence. In 1982, the Goldsmith Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its historically significant architecture;[1] key to this designation was its loggia, which is almost unknown in Cincinnati.[2]
