Dubbed “Over-the-Rhine” by German immigrants, the Brewery District was the center of Cincinnati’s rich beer brewing history. At one time the city’s social and economic heart, years of economic decline followed, preserving Over-the-Rhine and its stunning architecture. Today, the large number of Romanesque brewery and industrial structures sits amid the largest collection of Italianate architecture anywhere, befitting one of the most unique urban neighborhoods in the country. In addition to the blocks of historic buildings that comprise Over-the-Rhine, the Brewery District also contains the beloved Findlay Market, which is the state's oldest farmers market.

Nestled between Greater Cincinnati's two largest centers of employment (the University of Cincinnati Uptown area and the Downtown Business District), Over-the-Rhine is the most conveniently located neighborhood in the region, with close proximity to Downtown and easily accessible from major thoroughfares (I-471, I-71, I-74, and I-75). New residential and retail development in the neighborhood, along with the proposed streetcar, is poised to make the Brewery District THE premier urban neighborhood in the city.
