Description:
"The village post office was established in the mid-1830s, and the small frame Victorian Vernacular style structure was built in the 1840s. The post office originally had only one story; the second was added during remodeling around 1860. Although the station remained here throughout the nineteenth century, its name changed several times. Postal authorities first identified it as the Pleasant Hill Station. But there was another Ohio community called Pleasant Hill, and complaints about misdirected mail prompted post officials to rename this to College Hill Station. Finally, when College Hill Station became a branch of the Cincinnati Post Office in 1892, the postal service redesignated it as Station K. As the center of residential development in College Hill shifted, the business community gradually followed. Around 1909, the post office moved to Hamilton, just south of Llanfair Avenue, and then moved again several times, always further north on Hamilton." description "The village post office was established in the mid-1830s, and the small frame Victorian Vernacular style structure was built in the 1840s.
