HANDRAILS
History
The Rose Hill Lane Steps thread through a three-block step-path in the old Rose Hill section of Avondale, a name still visible on local buildings and street signs. Around the turn of the twentieth century, millionaires built grand residences along this hill, including the Barney Kroger family castle at 3863 Reading Road and the uncut-stone mansion of the Herschede family, known for manufacturing hall and mantle clocks. The route passes near the formal grounds of Xavier University on the heights above. Source: Walking the Steps of Cincinnati, Ohio University Press, 2014.
