Hauck House Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hauck House Museum is an Italianate mansion located in the Dayton Street Historic District in the Old West End Neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Hauck House has a striking façade of carved stone, and the spacious rooms have intricately painted ceilings, floors of parquet wood in elaborate patterns, marble mantels, and massive woodwork.

John Hauck was a German immigrant who rose to prominence in the area as one of Cincinnati’s famous brewers, and the furnishings, memorabilia, and antique toys. The museum was established to promote an understanding of daily life and customs in late 19th-century urban Cincinnati through the preservation and interpretation of the Hauck House.

The Museum is open Fridays from noon-4 p.m. and the last Saturday of every month.
