Early settlers first called this area Boldface Hill, for a Native American chieftain, but the name was soon changed to Price's Hill, named after Rees Price and his family, who were among the first city dwellers to see the residential potential of the area. Rees's father, Evan Price, speculated in land west of the city, and his son opened a brickyard and sawmill to serve the building boom. In 1874, Rees's sons John and William built an inclined plane to make the commute up the hill easier. With improved transportation, the community's population soared, mostly because the air was cleaner up on the hill than it was downtown. Strong community roots were quickly seeded and have since grown. Schools such as Seton, Elder, and Western Hills each have a large number of supportive alumni. Catholic and Protestant churches were built, as well as two synagogues. Businesses were started, and two libraries grew with the population. Residents were active in politics, social clubs, and civic associations. The first Skyline Chili opened here and was named for the stunning view of Cincinnati this hill offers. Other local favorites are Price Hill Chili and the Crow's Nest. Through more than 200 photographs and illustrations, readers can see for themselves the roots of this great community.

Over the years, Price Hill, perhaps more than any other neighborhood in the Queen City, has been home to a large number of saloons. Germans, Irish, and other nationalities found places to congregate and talk about the news of the day while drinking beer. The ownership of these saloons was often passed down from generation to generation. That was also the case for those who frequented these establishments-sons following in their fathers' footsteps to the nearest welcoming watering hole. Larry Schmolt is a lifelong resident of Price Hill. He grew up on Purcell Avenue and still lives in the same house on Rutledge Avenue where he and his wife settled in 1952. Over the years, Larry has served his community in many ways. He was President of the Price Hill Civic Club for ten years, during which time he was instrumental in founding the Price Hill Historical Society. And for the past five years, Larry has served as the Coordinator of the Price Hill Historical Society and Museum.

In The Dawn of Queen City athletic time, what would become known all over Ohio as 'The Pit' was exactly that -- a dusty cow pasture on Cincinnati's West Side adorned with a manhole on the 50-yard line. It was the only known playing field in Ohio where a manhole was the home field advantage, and its sewer-lid icon became a kind of trademark for the school's rough-and-ready working-class play. From that inauspicious beginning nearly eighty years ago was born one of the Midwest's most storied prep traditions: Elder High School athletics.In its steady procession of stellar teams and athletes, Elder became a West Side phenomena. Along the way, this all-boys parochial school, nestled in a residential corner of blue-collar Price Hill, acquired a following of loyalists found in no other school in Cincinnati, maybe in no other school anywhere. This is the mystique that created back-to-back basketball state titles, a cross country dynasty, an un-precedented eleven baseball championships, and a football team with a national ranking. Its football field was named by USA Today as one of the best places in America to watch high school football, and its graduates have populated programs from Division I all the way to the professional ranks.With over 250 photographs, The Pride of Price Hill is, finally, a story about an old-fashioned neighborhood -- a neighborhood most of us wish we inhabited. Over 400 photographs.
