Edgemont Inn (short) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From 1833 to 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe and her family called a two-story yellow brick house in Walnut Hills home. Her experiences there – across the river from slave-owning Kentucky – inspired Uncle Tom’s Cabin . In the 1930s, the house was converted into The Edgemont Inn — a tavern and boarding house that became a mainstay in Cincinnati’s Green Book listings. Today, you can step inside and experience the building’s two significant eras of Black history – just as they once were. -- Juneteenth
Gordon Hotel (short) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1910s, millions of migrants from the rural South arrived in Cincinnati seeking employment. Affordable housing was scarce; workers and their families packed into dark, dangerous tenements. Seeing poverty on the rise, local millionaire Jacob Schmidlapp built something unusual for the time: low-income lodging filled with high-quality amenities. It was called The Gordon Hotel. -- Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts are brought to you by Cincinnati Public Radio and produced by the Urban Roots podcast

Manse Hotel (short) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When greats like Duke Ellington, Jackie Robinson, or Thurgood Marshall came to Cincinnati, they couldn’t stay at the white-only inns downtown – so they went to The Manse Hotel and Annex in Walnut Hills. With its 108 luxurious rooms, first-class restaurant, and large ballroom, the Manse was the crowning achievement of Horace Sudduth, a Black businessman who became one of the city’s wealthiest Black residents in the 1950s. -- Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts are brought to you by Cincinnati Public Rad
