The Gilbert–Sinton Historic District is an area in the southern portion of the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.[1] A triangle measuring slightly more than Шаблон:Convert in area, the district's edges are generally Morris Street and Sinton Avenue (both small residential streets) and the substantially larger Gilbert Avenue,[2] which is concurrently designated as U.S. Route 22 and State Route 3.[3]

Most of the district was created by a small group of real estate developers working in conjunction with each other. As a result, none of the present buildings were constructed before 1880, and little construction occurred after the turn of the 20th century. Additionally, the architecture is relatively homogenous: most of the buildings are large residences constructed as homes for the wealthy, and the architectural styles exhibited in the district (which is predominantly Queen Anne and Shingle style[2]) feature similar components and designs.[4]

In its early years, life in the present-day Gilbert–Sinton neighborhood was accompanied by plentiful amenities. When public transportation was initially established in the area, its first route ran along Sinton Avenue,[4] and Cincinnati's first cable car line used Gilbert Avenue.[1] Neighborhoods all along this pioneer cable car route expanded rapidly,[4] and Gilbert–Sinton was no exception.[1] Even today, the impact of these early public transportation routes is evident in the neighborhood. Residents did not need to travel for entertainment; besides being the district's southern boundary, Morris Street is the northern boundary of the large Eden Park.[4]

In 1983, the Gilbert–Sinton neighborhood was named a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Eighty-seven of the district's ninety buildings were counted as contributing properties.[2] Among these properties are the Gilbert Row along Gilbert Avenue and a pair of buildings known as Madam Fredin's Eden Park School and Neighboring Row House on Morris Street,[5] which had already been listed on the National Register in 1982 and 1979 respectively.[2]
