Martin House (Cincinnati, Ohio)

The Martin House is a historic residence in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

[2] Between the two components, it features elements of the Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles.

[1] Built of brick,[3] two stories tall, it was originally a farmhouse belonging to John C. Martin, who built his home on property owned by his father-in-law Ezekiel Rigdon, who owned nearly 100 acres (40 ha) of land on Mount Washington near the farm of one of the area's first settlers.

[2] In 1979, the Martin House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, because of its status as a well-preserved example of the area's architecture.

By this point, the house was owned by a religious organization and was also known as the "Heritage House;"[1] it received national recognition because it had almost never been altered after the construction of the front component, and few other houses in the area built at a similar time retained so many of their original components.
