At the center of change in Cincinnati sits Over-the-Rhine. As more and more residents and visitors rediscover the charms of OTR, most discover a neighborhood rich in art, history and community. The sound of renovation can be heard throughout the busy neighborhood as machines move earth to make way for the new School for Creative and Performing Arts in Washington Park next to the majestic Music Hall. Vine street looks brand new as a new restaurant and shopping district takes hold next to the Ensemble and Know Theatres.  The community's remarkable nineteenth-century buildings feature one of the largest collections of Italianate architecture and provide a dramatic background to the diverse residents that call OTR home.
