Description:

"When Thomas Morrison married Olivia Elizabeth Procter, her parents, William and Olivia Norris Procoter, had this house built for them as a wedding present in 1870-72. The Morrison House stayed in the family for exactly a century, and later served as the home of the president of the University of Cincinnati, whose wife was active in historic preservation. The Morrison House reflects the prickly, energetic post-Civil War development called High Victorianism. It combines the later characteristics of the Italianate Villa Style and its cognate, the Second Empire: an Italianate base with Mansard roof. The interior is remarkably intact. The excessively tall, narrow door- and window-frames characteristic of the period remain unpainted. The interior woodwork continues the French theme of the Mansard roof, with New Grecian details: the lintels across the top frankly evoke the lids of Greek sarcophagi, although the intention was no doubt to look like miniature Greek temples, with acroteria."
