Description:
|
"The Courtland Flats building is a notable and unusual example of the Second Renaissance Revival style in the downtown district. It was the first flat apartment Building to be constructed in this style in the downtown district. It was the first flat apartment building to be constructed in this style in downtown. Stylistically, Courtland Flats departs from the typical form of Second Renaissance Revival style with rustication, quoining, and a simple flat window treatment. Unlike those, this building emphasizes the window with elaborate projecting window heads. Echoing First Renaissance Revival period buildings, the window heads change from pediment in the third floor to segmented pediment on the fourth floor. Instead of quoining and rustication pilasters dominate the facade treatment. This building was built in 1902 for Christopher Sandheger, a prominent 19th-century liquor distiller. He helped make turn-of-the-century Cincinnati the leading whiskey producing city in the nation." Courtland Flats was added to the National Register of Historic Places in December 1984..
