The Brittany Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Queen Anne structure constructed in 1885,[1] it is a six-story rectangular structure with a flat roof,[2] built with brick walls and elements of wood and sandstone.[3] It was built by the firm of Thomas Emery's Sons,[4]Шаблон:Rp Cincinnati's leading real estate developers during the 1880s. It is one of four large apartment complexes erected by the Emerys during the 1880s; only the Brittany and the Lombardy Apartment Buildings have endured to the present day.[2] Both the Lombardy and the Brittany were built in 1885 according to designs by Samuel Hannaford;[2]Шаблон:Rp at that time, his independent architectural practice was gaining great prominence in the Cincinnati metropolitan area.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Among the distinctive elements of the Brittany's architecture are the massive chimneys on each end of the building. The exterior of the building is covered with decorative pieces, such as a comprehensive cornice with boxed pediments, plentiful brick pilasters and corbelling,[2] and prominent bay windows.[4]Шаблон:Rp

In 1980, the Brittany Apartment Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its well-preserved historic architecture.[1] Dozens of other properties in Cincinnati, including the Lombardy Apartment Building, were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford.[4]Шаблон:Rp Eight months later, the portion of Ninth Street between Vine and Race Streets was added to the Register as the Ninth Street Historic District,[1] and the Brittany Apartments were named one of the district's dozens of contributing properties.[5]

The building has been redone as LeBrittany, housing 15 units of luxury condominiums.[6]
