Schulte Mansion, Glenway Avenue and Dewey Avenue, West Price Hill, Cincinnati, OH
Built in 1892, this Queen Anne-style mansion was designed by Theodore A. Richter Jr. for Henry Joseph Schulte, and stands at the corner of Glenway Avenue and Dewey Avenue in Cincinnati’s West Price Hill neighborhood. In 1933, the house was sold to John J. Radel, whom modified the home to house a funeral home business, which involved removing the original porches and adding one-story Tudor Revival-style wings on the south and east facades, a porte cohere on the east facade, and a two-story addition at the northeast corner of the house. The funeral home remained active in the house until 2020, when it closed, and the house was put up for sale. Attempts were made by the community to have the mansion listed as a local historic landmark in 2021 and 2022, with all attempts failing due to the city’s supposed wish to “not infringe on property rights,” leaving it’s pending demolition for a parking lot unavoidable.
