Augspurger Building, 5811-5813 Hamilton Ave Cincinnati, Hamilton County, OH
The Augspurger Building is significant as the only late nineteenth-century building in the College Hill neighborhood business district that remains largely unaltered. It is a good example of Eclectic styling, displaying elements of the Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival Styles, and is typical of mixed-use buildings of that period constructed throughout the Cincinnati area. It provides physical and visual links to the business district as it developed in the late nineteenth century prior to College Hill`s annexation to Cincinnati. Until it was vacated recently, its use was consistent with its original design, with retail space in the front of the first floor and residential space beyond.
