A gothic cathedral that has a design similar to Notre Dame in Paris.
Reviewed By kathleenl739 - Michigan City, United States
Everyone in America should experience this Basilica. This Cathedral is 1/6 the actual size of Notre Dame in Paris. So next time you are in this neck of the woods stop in and be in awe. You don't know what you are missing

We recently moved to the area and had seen this beautiful church which reminded me of Notre Dame. We stopped on a Monday morning to walk through. While it isn't on the size scale of most Western European churches I've visited, it is equally impressive, especially the stained glass windows. We were surprised at what a phenomenally beautiful cathedral, which reminded us of Europe, could be found in Covington. It is indeed a treasure. The marble along with the intricate mosaics from Germany pair well with the Venetian glass and make this a must see if you are in Northern Kentucky.

This is a very unique and historic Greek Revival cathedral. The stations of the cross are painted in the style of ancient Greek vases and there is lots of exquisite marble and dark wood throughout. The sanctuary mosaic is very striking and one of the largest in the country. Definitely take a few minutes to visit this beautiful church when in downtown Cincinnati.

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!

Birthplace of America's 27th president, now a museum containing momentos of Taft's personal life and political career.
Reviewed By 81evac - New Britain, United States
Taft home and museum about this US President who also served on the Supreme Court. Very informative tour by ranger, with plenty to see and learn. Scavenger hunt for kids as well to keep them entertained during visit. Well worth the stop.
