Comments: Many old and historic churches in the city are faring poorly these days. This building is a classic example.
The city has owned it since April 1985, according to the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office. But not much has changed over the past decade, judging by a 1993 picture on the auditor’s Web site.
The Cincinnati Department of Community Development did not return calls seeking information about plans for the building.
