About Over-the-Rhine and Findlay Market

Over-the-Rhine, north of downtown, was settled in the 19th century by German immigrants, who called the old canal separating the neighborhood from downtown the “Rhine.” It is one of the largest collections of Italianate architecture in the United States, with three- and four-story brick buildings and ornate cornices.

Findlay Market, opened in 1855, is Ohio’s oldest continuously operating public market, with stalls selling meat, cheese, bread, flowers and prepared food. Vine Street and Main Street host restaurants, cafés and breweries, and Washington Park, opposite Music Hall, has outdoor programming in summer.

Guided tours go down into the basements and tunnels of the neighborhood’s old breweries, which produced a large share of the city’s beer before Prohibition.
