Three local buildings have been nominated for the National Register of Historic Places:

* The Verona Apartments, at 2356 Park Avenue in Walnut Hills, was built in 1906 as a luxury country apartment house for wealthy Cincinnatians by Thomas Emery's sons. Designed by architect Joseph Steinkamp, it is currently undergoing renovations to become part of the Gates of Eden Park project.

* The George Hatch House, at 830 Dayton Street in the West End, was built around 1880 for former Cincinnati mayor George Hatch. It was designed by Isaiah Rogers, widely regarded as America's greatest Greek Revival architect. The house, which is part of the Dayton Street National Register Historic District, will soon be converted into a museum and educational center.

* The Union Trust Building - better known as the Bartlett Building - at Fourth and Walnut streets Downtown, was built in 1901 and designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.

The nominations are on this Friday's agenda of the Ohio Historic Sites Advisory Board.
