Description:
|
"In the 1880's and 1890's the brothers Thomas J. and John J. Emery erected in Cincinnati more than a score of apartment houses including the Norfolk. The names they chose for the first four- Lorraine, Lombardy, Brittany, Saxony- evidence their love for the great regions of Europe...The Emery brothers put up the two apartment buildings at the intersection of 9th and Race: the six-story Brittany (1885), recently restored, and the five-story Saxony (1891). Samuel Hannaford & Sons designed both. Like the Norfolk, the Brittany and Saxony offer stylish 'flat' accommodations to turn-of-the century downtown residents."
