First there was a delapidated second-hand furniture shop. Then they built a student block that loomed over it. Then they demolished the shop to reveal the new building’s ugly petticoat of breeze-blocks.
This Gothic-Style historic church structure on John Street in Cincinnati's West End was originally constructed as the Congregation of Brotherly Love church in 1865-66.
Sometimes in the 20th Century, due to demographic changes in demographics of the West End, it became home to Revelation Baptist Church, which added a modernist addition to the front and side of the historic structure, covering up the original doorway. The church lies outside of the protections of an historic district, and thus it, along with surviving historic structures in the neighborhood nearby, are threatened with possible demolition. However, the good news is that the aesthetically significant buildings in this small surviving fragment of the old West End appear to be well-maintained and in good condition, making this area an ideal spillover location for the revitalization that is currently making its way through Over-the-Rhine.

Some additional homes in the small neighborhood on the north side of Martin Luther King Drive near the intersection with Reading Road in Cincinnati's Avondale neighborhood. Most of the best examples of architecture in the neighborhood have already been lost, most of them being demolished in the last three or four years, leaving only a small taste of what once was a largely intact and well-kept section of homes that were smaller and more compact than those found elsewhere in Avondale. Constructed largely in the late 19th and early 20th Century, this area was historically working-class and lower-middle class, and remained largely inhabited until only a few years ago. Now, time is running short for these homes, with the city looking to redevelop the area as an Innovation district and the neighborhood being the site preferred for a new NIOSH research facility. The loss of these homes, however, is a loss for low-income residents who called them home, as many other low-income areas like this one are being hollowed out and replaced with mega-developments that have very little room for these people. The current political situation in the city is not conducive to addressing this issue, and change is needed.
