This house just beyond the borders of the Old Bond Hill Historic District in Cincinnati is a Sears-Roebuck Alhambra kit house built in the Spanish Revival style. Constructed in 1920, the four square-type house has since been divided into apartments, and an unfortunate alteration around the turn of the 21st Century saw the building covered in vinyl siding, with the windows replaced with smaller and inappropriate vinyl replacements, with the only indication that this house was originally an Alhambra being the Spanish-style parapets and general shape of the structure. The silver lining in the inappropriate alterations is that the vinyl siding likely covers up the original house cladding melbourne material, meaning this house could be easily reverted to a more authentic appearance akin to what it looked like when first built. Hopefully the right people come along and restore this old house.
