The 90-minute tour shares the story the unique architecture and history of this small slice of the West End, which developed as farmland but soon became the home of Cincinnati's most notable manufacturers and retailers. Featuring Federal, Italianate, and Queen Anne architecture, the 10-block district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
The tour is $10 and includes admission to the Betts House. Future tours are scheduled for the fourth Saturday of each month, June through October, at 1 P.M.
Reservations are not required, and scheduled tours will go on rain or shine.
The tour was developed for the Betts House by Architreks/Cincinnati Walks.
