Prospect Hill Historic District is located on a hillside outside of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
Dating from the 1860-80 period, this style is characterized by bracketed cornices and round or segmental arched window details.
Good examples of earlier Greek Revival style architecture constructed between 1835 and 1860 are also found, predominantly located on the lower streets which developed the earliest.
Contributing to the distinct character of Prospect Hill are the street steps, which evolved in response to a hillside environment which did not lend itself to a linear grid plan.
Many of these retaining walls, which are primarily stone, support original iron fences and contribute to the character of the district.
