Cross Eighth Street and turn left at Waldo apartments, 801 Elm St. Built in 1891, it’s one of four surviving late 19th-century apartment houses that brothers Thomas J. and John J. Emery built downtown.

      Walk north on Plum Street and turn right into the Ninth Street Historic District, three blocks of more than 40 buildings from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. Walk to Elm Street and go to the northeast corner. Crosley Square (140 W. Ninth St.), was designed by Harry Hake and built in 1922. Originally home to the WLW radio station, this impressive Classical Revival–style building currently houses the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy.

      Continue walking east toward Race Street. While there’s an empty lot on the northeast corner, the other three compensate for the void with solid historic buildings listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. On the southeast corner is The Phoenix, built in 1893 to accommodate Cincinnati’s first professional Jewish men’s club. On the southwest and northwest corners, respectively, are Saxony and Brittany apartment buildings, designed by Samuel Hannaford & Sons.
