An engaging history of Cincinnati's Hyde Park. First settled in 1795, Hyde Park was an area of great estates and small and large farms until 1892.

It explains the development of Hyde Park Square and the community's streets, schools and churches. Readers will rediscover lost places, like the Grandin Bridge, Rookwood, the Pines, Belcamp and the Hermitage.
