The Rawson House is a historic building located along Clifton Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Erected at an unknown date in the nineteenth century,[1] it has been ranked as a fine example of the Italian Villa style of architecture.[2] Built with brick walls and elements of wood and stone,[3] it was originally the home of early Cincinnati resident Jacob Lloyd Wayne. Later in its history, the house was sold to Joseph Rawson, who was successively the president of a local meat packing firm and the vice-president of the city's First National Bank.[2]
In 1973, the Rawson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Non-archaeological historic sites in the United States qualify to be listed on the National Register by passing any of three different criteria: significant historical role, relation to a historically significant person, or historically significant architecture.[4] It is possible for properties to meet more than one criterion; the Rawson House fit all three. Five years later, a group of properties along Clifton Avenue were designated a historic district, the Clifton Avenue Historic District;[1] the Rawson House is a contributing property to that district.[5]
