The Gilbert Row, as of 2005 often referred to as Emery Row, is a group of historic

commercial building, the row was built by the real estate firm of Thomas Emery's Sons according to a design by the Steinkamp Brothers architectural firm.[2] Built in 1889,[1] the complex became a model for many residential complexes constructed by Thomas Emery's Sons during the 1890s, including multiple apartment-style properties in Walnut Hills.[2]

Stairs and porches in the row

Buildings in the Gilbert Row are generally constructed on

Queen Anne style of architecture,[1] which was rarely employed in the construction of rowhouses in Cincinnati.[2]

In May 1982, the Gilbert Row was listed on the

Gilbert-Sinton Historic District, and listed on the National Register,[1] and the buildings of the Gilbert Row were among the district's contributing properties.[4]

The structure underwent a complete renovation between May 2005 and November 2006, transforming the building into 12 townhomes and 6 condominiums.
