I was born in this neighborhood and spent the first eight years here. In 1959, Interstate Highway I-75 was extended through Cincinnati and cut a path from the river through this neighborhood. All of the buildings in the path of the interstate were razed and, after the expressway construction was completed, new apartment complexes were built. I moved back into the neighborhood 20 years ago.Originally Posted by AF5TY
The building that I'm in is about 1000 yards from where I lived in 1957; my elementary school was directly across the street and was still standing until 5-7 years ago when they tore the vacant building down.
When first built in 1961, "Richmond Village" it was the home of many pro Baseball players and even some politicians because of it's proximity to City Hall. It was state of the art construction for the 1960's but, they knew nothing of insulation back in the 1950-60's. The problem is, when those cinder blocks heat up, the air spaces inside retain the heat. In the winter, every room has at least one wall separating it from the outside, when those bricks get cold, everything inside is cold.
The neighborhood surrounding it has been "Gentrified" and, it's a matter of time before the out-of-town- owners sell this complex.
Well, the one thing that that the management doesn't have to worry about is hole from folks hanging pictures from that cinder block.
