History

The history of the land dates all the way back to the late 1800’s when it was owned by Abigail and William Woodward. They were both huge proponents of free education for the city’s less fortunate children

Famous abolitionists Catherine and Levi Coffin lived on the land during the mid 1800’s and for 33 years they assisted in smuggling countless slaves over the Canadian border to safety.

For nearly a century the school served the students of Cincinnati, one of which happened to be future President William Howard Taft. Soon after he was elected, he gave a speech and laid an original cornerstone of the five story building you see today.

Designed by architect Gustav Drach and was one of the most modern buildings of its time. Amenities included flushing toilets, central heating, two swimming pools and a series of ornate Rookwood pottery fountains.
