This is one of my favorite stretches of street in the city, the 800 block of Lincoln Ave in Walnut Hills.
These red brick houses were built in the 1880s and 1890s.
Some are in decent shape and appear to have tenants, while many are vacant.The vacant ones are the ones owned by the City of Cincinnati -- specifically, 842, 844 and 846 Lincoln.
While it appears that there is work going on, I've never seen anyone on site and I haven't noticed any progress at all. The sad thing is that the City is in violation of its own VBML code. 842 Lincoln even has open windows with jagged, broken glass.
These could be neat little houses if someone, besides the City, took the time to fix them up.
