Taft Museum of Art

Built in 1820 by Martin Baum, a merchant and Cincinnati's first millionaire, the house is a registered National Historic Landmark. The House was the home of Cincinnati's leading citizens for several generations. Among them was arts patron Nicholas Longworth, who hired African-American painter Robert S. Duncanson to paint eight landscape murals considered one of the finest suites of domestic murals dating from before the Civil War. Iron magnate David Sinton, father of museum co-founder Anna Sinton Taft, bought the house in 1871. He lived there with Anna, his only surviving child, and her husband, Charles Phelps Taft. The Taft's began to assemble a renowned collection of fine and decorative arts--items acquired not only for their beauty but also to teach and inspire, thus helping their community grow culturally and economically. In 1908, William Howard Taft--younger half-brother of Charles Phelps Taft--accepted his party's nomination for the U.S. presidency from the house's portico.

Absolutely wonderful! A small private collection of the Tafts located in their formed mansion showing their personal taste. A Rembrandt and three Halses are definite highlights but the collection ranges from Corneille de Lyon to Dutch painters (de Hoogh, ter Borch, Steen) to Goya, Turner, Corot and Sorolla. A couple of good Sargents, the portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson being one of them, and an interesting painting by Henry F. Farny. Excellent!
