Hyde Park

Hyde Park was named after Hyde Park in New York and is one of the 52 neighborhoods that make
up Cincinnati located on the east side of the city accessible via I-71. It was once a suburb
before being annexed by Cincinnati and is the wealthiest neighborhood in the city. It is home
to stately, well-maintained homes with manicured lawns and tree-lined streets. The business
district is called Hyde Park Square and offers an array of upscale restaurants, boutiques and
galleries.

Great pictures...wondering if anybody has any info on the history of Herschel View Rd and Herschel Avenue...were they once connected and then later divided by Erie? Am trying to find the house (or at least the site) of a house my grandfather had built at 3736 Herschel View but evidently that address no longer exists. Would have built the house in the 20s or early 30s. any info appreciated!

Wonder if anyone remembers the pastry truck that used to go through the neighborhoods delivering assorted pastries from wooden shelves built in to the truck. He was able to reach far in to the truck to retrieve the most wonderful pastries with a very long wooden spatula which looked like the pizza oven spatulas of today. I believe the name was Puttenbaum or Pottenbaum. Something like that.

My 4 great grandfather John Edwards, as a revolutionary war leiutenant, was granted 200 acres in 1789 in Hyde park (now the cinti country club tract east to Edwards road). Thus my family lived in this all american village for many years. Otto Edwards( grandpa) was the last Edwards to be born on the Edwards farm in October 1891. He attended the Hyde Park school and later in the 1920s maintained the Alasze bldg. Your history says that in 1892 conti bus'men began the village. Does anyone know if they bought this farm at that time? I have many late 1950s era memories of the square with grandma Edwards.It would be wonderful to live in Hyde park with its charm and circa 1900 village authenticity. If anyone can answer my question I will be so grateful.Pls email dan@wolf-realty.com ( atlanta)

Do we think it was better in the past because we have such good child hood memories? Deckers, Parke's Pharmacy, Krogers, Lipperts, Hermans Drug store, Hyde Park Toggery, it was a place where you could get anything you needed ... Graeters, Echo still there, great place to grow up, still great place to live ... and still live there ...

Grew up in Hyde Park on St. John's Pl. Went to Kilgour, Walnut Hills H.S. & graduated from UC. Such a unique neighborhood. We played sports at the Observatory Park. Caddied at H P CC. This was the fifties & sixties, a great time to grow up. Have lived in the Columbus area for past forty years, but come back every year or two to visit all the old haunts.

Grew up on Zumstein. Pasquales, Graeters, Baskin Robbins across the square with free ice cream on your birthday, WEBN on top of the fire house on the square. Life was good in the 70's

I worked as a server, hostess and then manager of the Zino's in Hyde Park when Drew's Book Shoppe was in business next door. That was such an amazing time in my life and I think of it often. I lived right up the street on Michigan Avenue in a 4 family home. I was never happier than I was during my years there. I wish Zino's was still in business. It was such a great place to work. cheers! x

I am still in Cincinnati. I miss Lipperts Bakery so much. I went to St Ursula Academy and we hung out in Hyde Park alot. The bakery had the BEST Peanut Butter cookies I ever had in my life. Times were so good then. Zinover from Zinos were soooo good! I still go over to Hyde Park and I visit Rookwood quite often. They have great shopping and food. They call it Norwood, I don't consider it Norwood.

Ahhh...a walk down memory lane..I currently live in Centerville, so not too far away but was raised in Cincinnati..Mt.Lookout to be exact but as a young teen we used to walk to the Hyde Park Library and then would walk over to the square to Pasquale's Pizza and then follow that up with ice cream from Graeters...as a later teen we used to hang out at Zino's (no longer there) and even later as an adult...dinners at the Echo..what great memories..thanks for absolutely beautiful pics and a sometimes teary eyed reminder of long ago youth

These pictures are great! I was raised in Hyde Park on Victoria Avenue but moved away in 1990. For the past 17 years I have been trying to plan a way to get back home. Hopefully it will happen in the near future!

I LOVE Hyde Park and hope to live here for a long time. The people are amazing, the houses are breathtaking, and everything just feels like home...a home that costs over a million dollars :)

I grew upin the late 50's and 60's with my 9 brothers and sisters on St.Charles, were we went to St.Mary's one block away. I used to broom the clay courts at the Hyde park tennis club for a bottle of coke. My brother and I built soap box derby cars and ran them in Edan park. My friend pat and i would jump the trains and ride them to withrow for baseball. great memories , great neighborhood and i hope to be moving back soon.9/07/06 jkh

Beautiful. I grew up in the Hyde Park / Mt. Lookout area. I used to live about 200 yards from the mushroom house in the Ravenswood apts. Thanks for the memories....

Born & raised in Hyde Park, moved West (Tempe, AZ) in mid 70's, used to come back & visit, but have not since 1996 for sister's wedding (Kenwood Country Club) as HP-Country Club, where I caddied as a pre-teen/teen was being renovated! I believe I remember the discussions/dreams of the possibility of the "Mushroom House" being built someday, as well as the early formation of "Sacred Mushroom" and of course then "Mushroom Jones" These pic's are fantastic, makes me want to come back soon & visit, thanks! p.s. I went to Hyde Park School for Kindergarden, St Mary's for 8 years, and I worked at "Lipperts Bakery" for awhile as well! Great shots! One of the house's is across the street from where I was raised!

Thank you for seeing the beauty that I see in this wonderful city. The beauty of the neighborhoods is only exceeded by the strength, courage, and humanity of the people who live here. Cheers, Jenny

Impressive. I haven't been to Hype Park since before I was a teenager. I will have to make the trip soon, its like its own small town. Hype Park Sq. reminds me of something in San Francisco.

The Mushroom House really caught my eye here. I did a double-take. I have seen wave-like rooves on the houses of Carmel-by-the-Sea, but nothing like this.
